Warren Avenue at 23rd Street, Detroit, Michigan, October 1993

 

 


Malice Green dropped off a friend in front of this suspected crack house right before he was stopped by
two police officers. After Green was asked to produce his driver's licence and registration, a struggle
ensued and the officers beat him to death with three-pound flashlights. The beating continued even after
Green had been handcuffed and an ambulance had been flagged down.

Larry Nevers was found guilty of a second-degree murder and sentenced to twelve to twenty-five years
in prison. Walter Budzyn, convicted of the same crime, was given eight to eighteen years.
