Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, fled a traffic stop after he was yanked out of his car, pepper-sprayed and hit with a Taser.

Tyre Nichols, 29, was a free spirit with a passion for skateboarding and capturing sunsets on his camera.

Mills testified for the prosecution, saying he regrets his failure to stop the beating, which led to Nichols’ death from blunt force trauma.

In addition to beating Nichols, prosecutors also said the officers failed to intervene and failed to tell medical personnel that Nichols had been hit repeatedly in the head.

Defense lawyers have argued that the fatal beating would not have taken place if Nichols had just allowed himself to be handcuffed.

The five officers, the city of Memphis and the police chief are being sued by Nichols’ family for $550 million. »
