6 Mississippi cops plead guilty to torturing 2 Black men FMTNews FMTWorld
Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Rankin County in June.
Federal prosecutors said the six officers sexually and physically assaulted two handcuffed Black men for more than two hours during a Jan 24 raid on a Braxton, Mississippi, home for which they had no warrant. The officers carried out mock executions on one of the men and shot him in the face, critically injuring the man.
The officers pleaded guilty to 16 felonies including civil rights conspiracy, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence and conspiracy to obstruct justice, among others. As part of their federal pleas, the men are also scheduled to plea guilty to state charges on Aug 14, federal prosecutors said.
The officers then tried to burn the clothes of the victims in an attempt to cover up their crimes and planted methamphetamine in the house.
