The all-White group – five former Rankin County sheriff's deputies and a former Richland police officer – admitted to their involvement in breaking into a Braxton home and torturing two Black men in a racially-motivated attack. During the hours-long torture last year, deputy Hunter Elward shot Michael Jenkins in the mouth. Elward was sentenced to 20 years on Tuesday. Five more members of the self-named ‘Goon Squad’ are slated for sentencing through March 21.
