Federal Trial Begins for Three Ex-Memphis Officers in Tyre Nichols Case

Jury selected; opening statements and testimonies to follow in high-profile civil rights trial.

Three former Memphis police officers face federal charges for the beating death of Tyre Nichols.
Jury selection has concluded, and opening statements are set to begin.
Two other officers have pleaded guilty and may testify against their former colleagues.
The trial is expected to last three to four weeks and could result in life sentences if convictions are secured.
Nichols' death, captured on video, intensified calls for police reform and led to the disbanding of Memphis' SCORPION unit.
