On Dec. 21, 2023, a jury found three Washington police officers not guilty in the March 2020 in-custody death of Manuel "Manny" Ellis in Tacoma after a historic monthslong trial and three days of jury deliberations.
Washington’s Attorney General’s office had charged the officers with murder and manslaughter.
KNKX Reporters Mayowa Aina and Jared Brown sat down together to discuss reaction to the verdict from the officers, Ellis' little sister Monét Carter-Mixon and Tacoma’s mayor Victoria Woodards.
