Emmitt Martin III testified at the trial of three former officers Justin Smith , Tadarrius Bean and Demetrius Haley -- who were charged on Sept. 12, 2023 , with violating Tyre Nichols' civil rights through excessive use of force, unlawful assault, failing to intervene in the assault and failing to render medical aid.
The defense said that Martin changed his story of what happened the night of their encounter with Nichols after accepting a plea deal from the prosecution.
The prosecution told ABC News last week that they will not have any statements until after the trial.
The defense attorneys did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
The five former officers charged in this case were all members of the Memphis Police Department SCORPION unit.
All of the officers were fired for violating MPD policies.
