United States|The police officers were acquitted of the most serious charge.
Stateside three police officers have been sentenced by Tire Nichols regarding death by abuse.
A US federal court found one of the police officers guilty of civil rights violations. In addition, he and two other police officers were found guilty of tampering with evidence, as the men were deemed to have withheld information and made false and misleading statements during the assault investigation.
However, the men were acquitted of the most serious charge, which would have put them directly responsible for the death of 29-year-old Nichols.
With federal crimes, however, long prison sentences await them.
