On Tuesday, testimony will resume in the joint trial of two Aurora police officers who responded on the night 23-year-old Elijah McClain was killed.
McClain was walking home from a convenience store on August 24, 2019, when a 911 caller reported him as"sketchy." He was stopped by police and put into a carotid hold before paramedics arrived on scene and administered ketamine, a powerful sedative. A few days later, McClain died.
Beuther continued to say, in his opinion, McClain likely suffered from lactic acidosis and hypoxia as well. According to Beuther, if McClain had not suffered hypoxia, lactic acidosis and aspiration, he would have had a better chance of surviving the ketamine dose. “The people have argued, and they will argue through this trial, that there's no evidence of this gun grab," one of the defense attorneys said during opening statements."The evidence of the gun grab is Mr. Roedema's statement as it is occurring. He's exclaiming it as it is happening. So you're going to ask yourself, why would he make that up?”
