In the state case, each of the six former officers are charged with conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice, according to the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office. Dedmon is charged with home invasion and Elward is charged with home invasion and aggravated assault.

The state case sounds very weak given the heinous acts they all committed. I hope the civil case does better.
