The case, which sparked a national outcry that forced the White House to react, had raised fears of a conflagration after the release of videos of the arrest in Memphis of Tyre Nichols, 29, who was beaten relentlessly by five police officers, also black. He died in hospital three days later.

The trial, which is expected to last several weeks, opened Monday with the jury selection process delayed by the consideration of pretrial motions, local media reported.

In total, five officers who were fired and indicted by the state of Tennessee were also indicted federally by a grand jury in September 2023 on four counts. Two of them have since pleaded guilty, in November and again in August.

The five men will then be tried by the Tennessee courts.

More than four years after the death of George Floyd, another African-American killed during a police intervention, which sparked a wave of global emotion and vast anti-racist demonstrations, the United States is still experiencing numerous cases of police violence.
