- Duanna Johnson
Bridges McRae, a former Memphis Police officer, pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court to a felony civil rights charge of using excessive force against Duanna Johnson while booking her into the Shelby County Jail.
McRae was tried in federal court in April but the jury was unable to reach a verdict. The case attracted widespread attention because of a videotape that showed McRae beating Johnson, a transgendered woman, in the corrections center.
