The city of Memphis has subpoenaed all correspondence, documents and communication between Shelby County District Attorney General Steve Mulroy and attorneys for Tyre Nichols’ estate, and any communication between Mulroy’s office and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), reports the Daily Memphian. In the subpoena, the city is seeking any information that Mulroy’s office passed on to attorneys for Nichols’ estate. That information, if shared, could aid lawyers in their effort to prove the city’s police policies, training practices and a lack of supervision contributed to Nichols’ death, which is the crux of a civil case against the city.
