Former Mississippi law enforcement officers involved in the racially charged "Goon Squad" case are being sentenced for the torture of two Black men in 2023. The officers, part of a group that raided a home without a warrant, subjected the victims to racist vitriol, beatings, sexual assaults, and a mock execution. The federal hearings have revealed horrifying accounts of brutality, with one former deputy receiving a 40-year prison sentence and another receiving over 17 years. The victims' attorney described the sentencing as a historic moment for victims of police abuse. The officers also face state charges and have pleaded guilty to federal charges including conspiracy against rights and obstruction of justice.
