A Mississippi judge dropped second-degree murder charges against two police officers Thursday who were accused of beating and body-slamming a 62-year-old Black man in 2019, resulting in his death.
"There was nothing on its face that was illegal," Peterson said in court, according to the newspaper. "The detention of a suspect is not a criminal act and there was no proof presented that they were conspiring." A third officer, Anthony Fox, has not yet gone to trial. All three officers are Black.More Related News
