Daniel Opdyke and Christian Dedmon are expected to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Tom Lee for their role in torturing two Black men.
The charges stemmed from a Jan 2023 *interaction with* [brutal attack on] #MichaelCoreyJenkins & #EddieParker when the group of 6 officers burst into their #RankinCounty #Mississippi home WITHOUT a #warrant & #assaulted them w/ stun guns, forced them to ingest liquids, punched & kicked them, called them #racist slurs, & worse.
#ChristianLeeDedmon fired his #gun TWICE during the incident in an attempt to #intimidate the victims, the #DOJ said in a 2023 news release.
Fmr dpy #ChristianLeeDedmon will be sentenced later Wed.
Both men, along w/4 other #law *enforcement* officers, pleaded #guilty last year to #felony charges that included #CivilRights #conspiracy, deprivation of rights under color of #law, discharge of a #firearm during a #crime of #violence, conspiracy to #obstruct #justice & #ObstructionOfJustice.
