After blanket acquittals for three former officers in the Tyre Nichols criminal trial, attention turns to the civil case.

Three former Memphis officers have been acquitted of state charges, including second-degree murder, in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols in 2023.

The verdict, read Wednesday, left many Memphians shocked and reeling. Now, just two days later, community advocates and elected leaders are stepping forward to talk about the road ahead. At Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church, Pastor J. Lawrence Turner is one of those voices calling for immediate change.
