Officers Face Trial Over Death of Elijah McClain During 2019 Police Encounter

Elijah McClain died in 2019 after Aurora police officers put him in a neck hold and paramedics administered ketamine.
The trial began this week for officers Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt, who face manslaughter and other charges.
McClain's death sparked outrage and protests over racial inequities in policing.
Prosecutors allege the officers' actions led to McClain's death, but may have difficulty definitively linking them.
The officers' attorneys have not commented publicly on their defense.
