Six former Mississippi law enforcement officers who pleaded guilty to torturing two Black men have had their sentencing postponed for the second time.
The sentencing, initially scheduled for Jan. 16, has been rescheduled to March 19 by U.S. District Judge Tom Lee.
The men admitted to subjecting the victims to racially motivated, violent torture, including a mock execution and planting of drugs and a gun. (Trending: Anthony Fauci Questioned About Evidence Behind COVID Restrictions)

The officers face federal and state charges, with recommended sentences ranging from five to 30 years, although the judge isn’t bound by that agreement.
The charges followed an investigation linking some of the deputies to violent encounters with Black men, and prosecutors say some of the officers called themselves the “Goon Squad” due to their use of excessive force and cover-ups.
