A Colorado jury found police officer Nathan Woodyard not guilty of manslaughter in the 2019 killing of Elijah McClain, a young Black man who died after police placed him in a chokehold during an arrest and medics injected him with a sedative.
Protesters gather for a rally to call for justice for Elijah McClain after Governor Jared Polis amended his executive order regarding the investigation of McClain's death, which has raised concerns that charges against the police officers involved may ultimately be watered down in Denver, Colorado, U.S., November 21, 2020. ...Woodyard, 34, the last of three Aurora Police Department officers to stand trial in McClain's death, had been suspended without pay from the force since 2020.
Woodyard was the first officer to confront McClain as he walked home from a convenience store on Aug. 24, 2019, in the Denver suburb of Aurora. A bystander had called 911 to report that McClain, dressed in a winter coat and ski mask on a warm night, was acting suspiciously. "At every single turn, he chose to escalate," Slothouber said of Woodyard's use of force. "There was never an explanation to Mr. McClain of why this was happening to him."
