Prosecutors claim Nathan Woodyard started a chain of events that led to Elijah McClain's death, but the officer's defense says others are responsible.
AURORA, Colo. — After three weeks of testimony, an Adams County jury has returned a verdict for Officer Nathan Woodyard in connection with theTestimony in the trial for Woodyard, who is charged with one count of reckless manslaughter, began on Oct. 17.
Those words, however, prompted officers to take McClain to the ground. During that struggle, Woodyard used a carotid hold on McClain, a maneuver that caused him to briefly lose consciousness. Afterward, he was handcuffed and restrained on the ground for more than 10 minutes. "At every single turn he chose to escalate," prosecutor Jason Slothauber said during his closing arguments on Friday.
After the maneuver, medical experts testified that McClain suffered from hypoxia, or a lack of oxygen, and a condition known as acidosis, where too much acid builds up in the body. He also aspirated - or inhaled his own vomit into his lungs. Andrew Ho told the jury that Woodyard could not be held responsible for what others did or did not do.
