Suspended Aurora Police officer Nathan Woodyard's trial is the second related to the 2019 death of Elijah McClain.
BRIGHTON, Colo. — During opening statements Tuesday inaccused of wrongdoing in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, a prosecutor and a defense attorney agreed on several points.
“They didn’t listen to him when he said, ‘I can’t breathe,’” Joyce told the jurors. “They did not listen when he was drowning in his own vomit. And they certainly didn’t pay attention as he got quieter and quieter and quieter.” “Nothing that Officer Woodyard did caused Mr. McClain to die,” she said. “None of the actions he took. None of the force he used. He’s not guilty.”
Woodyard’s trial is the second of three for first responders accused of wrongdoing in McClain’s death.
