MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Two of the former Memphis Police officers convicted of federal crimes related to Tyre Nichols' death have been released and another will remain in custody while they wait to be sentenced. It is one step closer to what Tyre Nichols' mother calls "full justice." Justin Smith and Tadarrius Bean were granted release with home detention and GPS monitoring. The judge clarified that Bean and Smith are only guilty of obstruction of justice and that both were compliant pre-trial and have remained out on bond for more than a year. The government argued that now that they were found guilty, there is now a higher risk of flight. Verdicts announced in Tyre Nichols federal trial; ex-officers taken into custody Demetrius Haley will remain in custody. His attorney said he would seek release from a higher court. This comes just four days after a jury returned mixed verdicts against the men for their roles in the beating death of Nichols. The jury found the trio guilty on some counts but not guilty on others, including violating Nichols’ civil rights. After the verdicts were announced, they were immediately taken into custody by Marshals. ► MORE ON TYRE NICHOLS The full results are below: Count 1 – Violating Nichols’ Civil Rights Count 2 – Deliberate Indifference to Medical Needs Count 3 – Conspiracy Count 4 – Obstruction Tadarrius Bean: Count 1 – Not Guilty Count 2 – Not Guilty Count 3 – Not Guilty Count 4 – Guilty Demetrius Haley: Count 1 – Not Guilty, Guilty of lesser crime of deprivation of rights resulting in bodily injury Count 2 – Not Guilty, Guilty of lesser crime of deprivation of rights resulting in bodily injury Count 3 – Guilty Count 4 – Guilty Justin Smith: Count 1 – Not Guilty  Count 2 – Not Guilty  Count 3 – Not Guilty  Count 4 – Guilty After court, WREG caught up with Tyre Nichols' mother Ravaughn Wells who said that Monday provided a small sigh of relief knowing that Haley will remain behind bars. "We're okay for now," Wells said. "We're still waiting for the state trial to see how that's going to come about and hopefully, they'll get more time from that. And then, we can just move on and heal because we really just want to heal right now. It's just been a long journey and because this has been a high-profile case, it's just been a lot."
