Emmitt Martin III testified that he assaulted Tyre Nichols, who posed no threat, admitting to punching him at least five times while he was restrained.
Martin's conduct reflects a disturbing pattern of behavior, as he admitted to lying about the incident to cover up the officers' excessive use of force.
The case has sparked nationwide outrage over police brutality, with Martin acknowledging that he and his fellow officers fabricated stories to justify their actions.
The beating of Nichols, captured on police video, demonstrates the need for accountability within police forces, as admitted by Martin during the trial.
