Episode 7: Can the Tyre Nichols officers be convicted of second degree murder?

Tyre Nichols was laid to rest this week, and the five Memphis officers that beat him have been charged with second degree murder. But what, exactly, does that mean? What must be proved in court to find these officers guilty of second degree murder? What does it mean that they were charged with aggravated kidnapping? What does the video footage show? Which attorneys are involved, and how is this case related to the Rodney King beating in the early 1990's and to George Floyd's death?

Join us for Happy Hour this Friday, February 3, 2023, to review the hottest legal topic of the week - the Tyre Nichols' beating. Hosts Virginia Tehrani, Esq., and law student Chelsey Rogers of Tehrani Law, LLC, drink some wine as they break down the facts that are known, the videos that were released, the charges that have been made against the officers, the players involved, and the legal implications of the case.
