Two Memphis Officers in Tyre Nichols Case Get Home Detention; One Remains Jailed
A federal judge ruled that two former officers will be released on home detention, while a third remains in custody for more serious charges in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols.
- Tadarrius Bean and Justin Smith, convicted of obstruction of justice, will be on home detention with GPS monitoring until sentencing in January.
- Demetrius Haley, who faces more severe civil rights charges, will remain in jail following the judge's decision.
- The officers were part of a crime suppression team involved in the January 2023 beating of Tyre Nichols, who died three days later from his injuries.
- The jury found Bean and Smith not guilty of more serious civil rights violations, while Haley was convicted of causing bodily injury to Nichols.
- All five officers involved in the incident still face state charges of second-degree murder, with a trial date yet to be set.
