Five officers who are also black caught up with him and hit, kicked and beat Nichols with a police staff and struggled to captivate him when he called for his mother near his house.

The film material of the blows, which was captured by a police collar camera, also showed that the officers who fought around, talked and laughed were fought as Nichols. His death led to nationwide protests, for demands on police reforms in the United States and intensive examination by the police in Memphis, a majority of the black city.

The jury for the state trial was selected in Hamilton County, which also includes chattanooga after judge James Jones Jr. had belonged to the case of people outside of Shelby County, which also includes Memphis. The officials of the officials had argued that intensive advertising made a fair jury from Shelby County difficult.

The former Memphis officers Desmond Mill Jr. and Emmitt Martin were also charged in the case. They have agreed to make the state charges guilty and are not on trial. They also guilty in front of a federal court, where the conviction of all five civil servants is pending.

The officials are charged with the second degree murder, severe bodily harm, severe kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression.

“There are five officers who act together,” said Headley.

They argued that Nichols actively resisted the arrest by walking away and did not give his hands to officers so that he could be tied up with handcuffs. They also argued that the use of violence has complied with the police authority's guidelines.

Mills said that he regretted the failure to stop the strokes three days later to the death of Nichols through the trauma of Blunt Force trauma. Dr. Marco Ross, the medical examiner who carried out the autopsy, said that Nichol's tears and bleeding had suffered in the brain.

John Keith Perry, the lawyer of Bean, said in his final argument that Nichols ignored the commands to give the officials his hands dozens of times. Bean only tried to captivate Nichols with handcuffs, and he followed his training in Memphis Police Department.

“Bean does nothing to punish this person,” said Perry.

On Tuesday, Haley and Smith's lawyers will make their closing arguments, and the public prosecutor has the opportunity to carry out disgusting final argument. The jury will then be considered.
