The six former Mississippi law enforcement officers who tortured and abused two Black men in a racist attack were sentenced on Wednesday to 15 to 45 years in prison on state charges.
The men — former Rankin County Sheriff’s deputies Brett Morris McAlpin, 53; Christian Dedmon, 29; Jeffrey Middleton, 46; Hunter Elward, 31; and Daniel Opdyke, 28' and a former police officer from the city of Richland, Joshua Hartfield, 32 — had pleaded guilty to state charges in August.
McAlpin, Middleton, and Opdyke were sentenced to serve 20 years; Dedmon to 25 years; Elward to 45 years; and Hartfield to 15 years in federal penitentiaries. The sentences will be served concurrently with their federal sentences, and all were ordered to pay $6,431 within two years of release, and permanently surrender their law enforcement certificates.
Prosecutors said the white officers had nicknamed themselves the “Goon Squad” due to their willingness to use excessive force and cover up their brutal attack on Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker in January 2023.
In the attack, the men verbally abused Jenkins and Parker, beat them, assaulted them with stun guns and a sex toy, and one of them shot Jenkins in the mouth in a "mock execution."
The men had also pleaded guilty to federal charges in connection with the assault and were sentenced to federal prison terms of 10 to 40 years.

They may not last long in lock up…
bend over boys, here it comes...
No, I don’t expect them to.
The Poon Squad.
And they didn’t do jack to the Uvalde “goon squad” that stood back and let 21 children and adults be murdered by an out-of-control tranvestite at a Uvalde elementary school. Be consistent and knock off the whining.
Derick Chauvin darn near got murdered in general lockup, then put right back into general after he recovered-
everyone associated with the political prosecution of Trump needs to be sentenced similarly.
I don't know much about the facts of this case, but this seems ridiculously excessive.
They give people less time for murder and rape.
I suspect this is all political, and once again the "law" breaks down into an inconsistent mess subject to whims.
I wonder what $6,431 will buy in 10 years, 20 years?
The uvalde shooter was not trans.
He looked like it to me.
You were duped. Feel free to search if you doubt me.
Out in four years.
Will do! Have a nice day!
>The uvalde shooter was not trans.
I’ve seen a picture of him in a dress. Then a bunch of people posted a suspected different picture which was linked to a Redditor (surprise, surprise), which disappeared the rumor from the Internet quickly, but my questions about that one picture that looks very much like the shooter in the dress remains.
They bought themselves long term memberships to the Mississippi State Country Club.
Fuzz is a moronic agitator. Look at his posting history. People like him pollute this forum.
I hope they have fun getting gang raped in prison.
LOL! yup...
