The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office will review all cases handled by the five Memphis police officers who are accused of beating and killing Tyre Nichols, which could lead to charges being dropped in droves.
who are accused of beating and killing Tyre Nichols, which could lead to charges being dropped in droves.
Documents provided by the district attorney's office show that all five officers have been added to the county's “Giglio list,” which is a list of law enforcement officers with credibility issues. Memphis-based defense attorney Brandon Hall said he was in court on Wednesday when he saw a prosecutor drop one case involving some of the officers in question. He said he expects more to come.
“There’s no way can ethically bring in the officers as witnesses,” he said. “It would be a major conflict of interest.” “It’s going to severely damage the credibility of the officers in this unit,” he said. “I could see prosecutors washing their hands of any cases involving this unit unless it’s a serious violent crime.”
