SUMMARY: The federal sentencing for the six Mississippi law enforcement officers involved in the beating, torturing, and sexual assault of two Black men has been postponed by a federal judge. The officers have pleaded guilty to several federal felony offenses, including civil rights conspiracy and obstruction of justice.

The officers are also facing state charges, with potential sentences ranging from five to 15 years in prison. The federal sentencing is set to be determined within the next two months.

McDaniel is set to be sentenced on December 17, 2024.
