DA Mulroy Discusses Lessons Learned in Tyre Nichols Investigation During Keynote Speech at Criminal Justice Section Meeting

Today, DA Mulroy addressed members of the American Bar Association’s Criminal Justice Section, during their annual spring meeting.

As the event’s keynote speaker, DA Mulroy discussed lessons learned serving as the chief prosecutor during the Tyre Nichols case, while also issuing a call for police reform measures.

“National civil rights lawyer Ben Crump famously said on CNN that the way we handled this tragedy was “a blueprint for the nation.” I’m proud of that, and I’m proud of the way my staff thoroughly but quickly dealt with a potentially explosive fiasco.

To prove my point, let me posit three lessons we can learn from this experience about the unique challenges of officer-involved fatalities: We Can Pick Up The Pace. We Can Be More Transparent. We Can Be More Strategic.” -DA Steve Mulroy
