Former officer convicted in Tyre Nichols’ death to be held without bond

A federal judge on Monday ordered Demetrius Haley, one of the three former Memphis Police officers convicted in the beating death of Tyre Nichols , to be held without bond until sentencing on Jan. 22, 2025, according to ABC’s Memphis affiliate WATN .

The other two, Tadarrius Bean and Justin Smith, are allowed to be on supervised release until that date, WATN reported.

ABC News reached out to the attorneys for each of the officers but requests for comment were not immediately returned.

The hearing came after a jury on Thursday reached a mixed verdict against Haley, Bean and Smith, who were charged with depriving Nichols’ of his civil rights, deliberate indifference, conspiracy and obstruction of justice.

The officers pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Haley was acquitted of depriving Nichols of his civil rights causing death but found guilty on the lesser charge of depriving him of his civil rights resulting in bodily injury. He was also found guilty of conspiracy to commit obstruction.
