Scheduling issues with witnesses meant another delay in the trial of Aurora police officer Nathan Woodyard. He's one of 5 first-responders indicted in McClains death
BRIGHTON, Colo. — Jurors had the day off Monday in the case against an Aurora police officer charged in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain – the third delay in the trial caused by witness scheduling issues.“Every jury and every juror are different,” 9NEWS legal analyst Scott Robinson said. “Typically, jurors don't like delays that lengthen the length of their stay as a juror in a case. But in a serious case, most jurors are pretty understanding about delays.
He was the first officer to confront McClain on an Aurora street after a 911 caller said the man was wearing a mask and seemed “sketchy.” Woodyard was quickly joined by two other officers, Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt, and the three of them restrained McClain during a struggle.At one point, Roedema said that McClain had tried to grab Rosenblatt’s gun, and the struggle intensified. Rosenblatt attempted a carotid neck hold but was not successful.
Despite repeatedly saying he could not breathe, the officers – and later paramedics – did not check his vital signs or take other steps to assess his medical condition. A dose of the sedative ketamine, administered by paramedics, has been blamed for ultimately causing his death.Robinson said the delays could serve to keep the jury more fresh – but could also break their concentration.
On Oct. 12, a different jury acquitted Rosenblatt but found Roedema guilty of criminally negligent homicide and third-degree assault.Sentencing for Roedema is scheduled Jan. 5. He had been suspended without pay since being indicted in the case, but was fired after being convicted.
