Count one also alleges that this offense resulted in bodily injury and the death of Nichols.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Count two of the indictment alleges that all five defendants violated Nichols\u2019 right to be free from a law enforcement officer\u2019s deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Specifically, the indictment alleges that even though the defendants knew that Nichols had a serious medical need, the defendants willfully disregarded that medical need by failing to render medical aid and by failing to advise the MPD dispatcher and emergency medical personnel of the circumstances surrounding Nichols\u2019 serious medical need.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Count two also alleges that this offense resulted in the bodily injury and death of Nichols.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Count three of the indictment alleges that all five defendants conspired to cover up their use of unlawful force by omitting material information and by providing false and misleading information to their supervisor and to others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Specifically, the indictment outlines overt acts the defendants committed in furtherance of the conspiracy, including, among others, failing to tell MPD and Memphis Fire Department personnel that the defendants had struck Nichols and that the defendants had discussed hitting Nichols with straight haymakers and taking turns hitting him. Further, the indictment alleges that the defendants provided false and misleading information to two MPD officers tasked with writing reports about Nichols\u2019 arrest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Finally, it alleges that the defendants submitted Response to Resistance Reports containing false and misleading information and omitted that they had assaulted Nichols.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Count four of the indictment alleges that the defendants committed an obstruction offense by intentionally omitting material information and providing false and misleading information to two MPD officers tasked with writing MPD reports about the arrest of Nichols.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Counts one and two of the indictment carry a maximum penalty of life in prison. Counts three and four each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The charges announced Tuesday are separate from the Justice Department\u2019s civil pattern or practice investigation into the MPD.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The charges are criminal, while the pattern or practice investigation is a civil investigation that will be conducted separately and independently from the criminal case and handled by a different team of career staff from the Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AG Garland Announces 5 Former Memphis Police Officers Charged in Connection with Tyre Nichols\u2019 Death\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-mYS-D8La-Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The charges announced today are also separate from, and in addition to, the charges the State of Tennessee has brought against these former officers related to the death of Nichols.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The federal authorities allege different criminal offenses.
