Three former Memphis Police Officers charged in the death of Tyre Nichols have requested separate trials, with a court hearing set for September to discuss the requests. The officers, along with two former colleagues, have pleaded not guilty to charges related to Nichols' violent beating and death, which was captured on police video. If the severance requests are granted, there could be four trials for the officers. Nichols died from blows to the head, and an autopsy report ruled his death as a homicide. The U.S. Department of Justice is also investigating the Memphis Police Department's use of force and racially discriminatory policing.
