FILE - Aurora, Colo., police officer Nathan Woodyard attends an arraignment hearing after being charged in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, Jan. 20, 2023, at the Adams County Justice Center in Brighton, Colo. Closing arguments are scheduled Friday, Nov. 3, in the trial of the police officer charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of McClain, a 23-year-old Black man stopped as he walked home from the store after someone reported that he was suspicious.
Two paramedics, Jeremy Cooper and Lt. Peter Cichuniec, who were involved with giving McClain a large dose of the sedative ketamine after he struggled with police, are scheduled to go on trial later this month. They have pleaded not guilty. In both trials, the defense sought to pin the blame on McClain’s death on the paramedics. But while attorneys in the first trial suggested McClain bore some responsibility for his medical decline by struggling with police, Woodyard’s lawyers, Megan Downing and Andrew Ho, have seemed more sympathetic to him.
