Three Memphis ex-police officers convicted of least serious charge in Tyre Nichols’ killing

Thursday, 03 October 2024 22:44

A jury has convicted three former Memphis police officers of witness tampering in the 2023 beating death of Tyre Nichols, but acquitted them of the most serious charges.

Jurors found Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith guilty of witness tampering. Haley was acquitted of violating Nichols’ civil rights causing death, but convicted of the lesser charge of violating his civil rights causing bodily injury. Bean and Smith were acquitted of all civil rights charges.

They were among five officers who were fired from the Memphis police department after the 7 January 2023 incident, which sparked protests in Memphis and across the US when footage of officers beating a young Black man was made public. Two of the other former officers, Emmitt Martin and Desmond Mills Jr, pleaded guilty to depriving Nichols of his civil rights and testified for prosecutors in the federal case.

Hurricane Helene: more than 200 dead as search for missing people continues

Thursday, 03 October 2024 22:38

A week after Hurricane Helene made landfall in the US, search-and-rescue teams continue to look for missing people in parts of the south-east that were devastated by the storm, and nearly a million people in the region remain without power.

Officials have reported at least 215 deaths across six states, and have warned that the toll is expected to rise as recovery efforts continue. A separate NBC News tally found that at least 202 people have died, including at least 98 in North Carolina, 19 in Florida, 33 in Georgia, 39 in South Carolina, 11 in Tennessee and two in Virginia.

Hurricane Helene made landfall last Thursday in Florida’s Big Bend region as a category 4 hurricane. It then weakened to a tropical storm and moved through Georgia, the Carolinas and Tennessee, bringing strong winds, rainfall, storm surge and devastating flooding to the region, destroying communities.

Dockworkers' Union To Suspend Strike Until Jan. 15 To Allow Time To Negotiate New Contract

Thursday, 03 October 2024 22:28

The union representing 45,000 striking U.S. dockworkers at East and Gulf coast ports reached a deal Thursday to suspend a three-day strike until Jan. 15 to provide time to negotiate a new contract.

The union, the International Longshoremen’s Association, is to resume working immediately. The temporary end to the strike came after the union and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents ports and shipping companies, reached a tentative agreement on wages, the union and ports said in a joint statement.

A person briefed on the agreement said the ports sweetened their wage offer from about 50% over six years to 62%. The person didn’t want to be identified because the agreement is tentative. Any wage increase would have to be approved by union members as part of the ratification of a final contract.

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 13:59

Several prominent Republican politicians were named in a federal lawsuit filed Friday alleging a “civil conspiracy to violate the civil rights of Haitian migrants, particularly those residing in Springfield, Ohio.”

The lawsuit, filed in a Miami federal court by The Office of the Haitian Diaspora (ODIHA) and the Haitian Diaspora Political Action Committee (HDPAC), claims that widespread baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield eating pets have caused harm. It seeks compensatory and punitive damages and injunctive relief to “prevent further violations of the plaintiffs’ civil rights,” according to a statement from the groups Monday.

A group of employees from a plastics factory clung to spools of flexible yellow plastic pipes on the back of a flatbed semitruck for hours waiting for help as the Nolichucky River raged around them as Helene hit eastern Tennessee Friday.

But the truck tipped over and at least seven people were swept away by the floodwaters, the Knoxville News Sentinel, part of the USA TODAY Network, has learned. The incident happened in Erwin, Tennessee, just a mile from Unicoi County Hospital, where that same day, dozens of staff and patients were stranded on a hospital roof prompting harrowing rescues.
