The former officers were accused of violating Nichols’ civil rights through excessive force
was kicked, punched, tased, and pepper sprayed, and we all heard Mr. Nichols cry out for his mother and say ‘I’m just trying to go home.’ Officers who violate the civil rights of those they are sworn to protect undermine public safety, which depends on the community’s trust in law enforcement. They dishonor their fellow officers who do their work with integrity every day. The Justice Department will continue to hold accountable officers who betray their oath.
An attorney for Martin, William Massey, said, “I intend to enter a plea of not guilty to each count in the indictment on behalf of Mr. Martin. We will then move forward with the discovery process. Included in the multitude of materials sought will be a particularized request for a complete set of SkyCop videos from the Real Time Crime Center — one that specifically shows the events that led to the initial stop of Mr. Nichols. The entire story should be told. There is much to do.
