A former Mississippi police officer has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for torturing two black men in a house.
Christian Dedmon, 29, is one of six officers convicted over the 24 January 2023 assault.
Three other former officers have been sentenced to a total of more than 54 years in prison for the attack.
Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker were beaten, shocked with stun guns and sexually assaulted by the officers.
A very small measure of justice. I hope this brings a measure of closure for the victims, and encourages thousands more to come forward. This was not a one off and these are not the only police perpetrators.
Finally some good news for a change.
Dude is the embodiment of evil. No telling how many people’s lives and mental health will be saved over the next 40 years while he sits in his cell unable to perform his hateful deeds.
This is Christian Dedmon.
Excellent. Now if we could just get this for all of the public officials who abuse their power.
