MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The prosecution and defense wrapped up their closing arguments Wednesday in the federal trial against three of the former Memphis Police officers accused of beating Tyre Nichols to death during a traffic stop in 2023. ► MORE ON TYRE NICHOLS Judge Norris dismissed the jury at 7:25 p.m. and told them to return in the morning for deliberations at 10 a.m. Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, and Justin Smith face the same four federal counts – Violating Tyre Nichols’ Civil Rights, Deliberate Indifference to his medical needs, Conspiracy to cover up their use of unlawful force, and Obstruction by intentionally omitting information to those writing reports on the arrest of Nichols. Prosecuting attorney Kathryn Gilbert made the case to jurors that they should convict on all four counts. “Five officers beat Tyre Nichols to death. Five officers tried to cover it up," prosecuting attorney Kathryn Gilbert said to the jury. “They thought they would get away with it. What they didn't count on was the Skycop camera that was watching. What they didn’t count on was the mountain of evidence that this investigation would uncover.” Gilbert said they beat Nichols because they were angry, then left him to die and tried to cover it up. “They beat a man who cried out for his mom,” she said. “They wanted it to be a beatdown, and they made sure that it was.” Defense attorneys then began their closing. John Keith Perry, representing Bean, was first. Perry said Bean's position is that he tackled Nichols consistent with MPD policy. He issued verbal commands and struck Nichols hands to gain control of him.“These guys are doing life or death work,” Perry said. “They were serious business and they were doing their job.” Stephen Leffler, representing Haley, was next. He showed a photo of Nichols from body cam footage. He is seen not standing with his arms behind his back. He is standing “at ready” with his hands in “clenched fists.” Leffler said the officers were reading this body language as that of someone posing a threat. Leffler said that it was dark and they did not know if someone else was in the car during the traffic stop. He says the officers don't know what they are walking up on so he could pose a threat to them. Last up was Martin Zummach, representing Justin Smith. “The prosecution is painting Justin Smith as this evil character. Justin Smith did not participate in a crime. He is not perfect, but imperfection is not a crime," Zummach said. Forrest Christian with the prosecution finished his rebuttal just after 7 p.m. “Don’t let them cover up what they did to Tyre Nichols,” Christian said. He said that the defense whats the jury to believe that this was some kind of fight, but “this was not a fight. It was just a beating.” The first two counts of the indictment carry a maximum penalty of life in prison. The last two carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. All five officers, including Desmond Mills and Emmitt Martin who have already taken deals and pleaded guilty to federal charges, also face state criminal charges of second-degree murder in the Nichols case.
