Opening statements are set to start in the trial of a third police officer charged in the death of a Black man who was confronted by police as he was walking home in suburban Denver in 2019
Opening statements are set for Tuesday in the trial of a police officer charged in the death of a Black man who was put in a neck hold and injected by paramedics with the sedative ketamine after he was stopped while walking home in suburban Denver in 2019. The presentations in the trial of Aurora officer Nathan Woodyard come just days after jurors delivered a split verdict against two other officers indicted in the death of Elijah McClain.
WHY DID POLICE STOP McCLAIN?Woodyard was the first of three officers who approached the 23-year-old massage therapist after a 911 caller said McClain seemed suspicious. Woodyard also put McClain in a neck hold that rendered him temporarily unconscious after another officer said that McClain had reached for one of their guns. Paramedics later injected McClain with an overdose of a powerful sedative, ketamine. He was pronounced dead three days later.
