A federal judge in Memphis on Friday continued to temporary block release of more video footage and records in the investigation into Tyre Nichols’ death, though he did show willingness to make information public so long as it does not interfere with the trials for five police officers facing charges. The Associated Press reports that Shelby County Criminal Court Judge James Jones Jr. directed prosecutors to outline the information they think should and should not be released and then give the list to defense attorneys. At issue is additional video footage and about 2,500 pages of documents.
