Elijah McClain’s case gained attention after the 2020 death of George Floyd.
Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt are on trial for reckless manslaughter and second-degree assault in the death of Elijah Mcclain.
Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt went on trial for reckless manslaughter and second-degree assault at the Adams County Court in the 2019 death of McClain, 23, who died several days after the incident.One other officer and two paramedics involved in the incident will have separate trials in the coming months. All the police and paramedics charged in the case are white.
Such an attempt does not appear on the body camera video of the encounter, but Roedema can be heard yelling at Rosenblatt that McClain had reached for the officer’s gun. Rosenblatt later told a supervisor that he did not feel McClain grabbing for the firearm. Using the same phrase repeated by Floyd, McClain told officers “I can’t breathe” or made other pleas for help seven times, prosecutors said.
Bunge argued that police had operated without any reasonable suspicion and ignored their training by failing to de-escalate or properly check on McClain’s well-being after applying the chokehold on him. Defence lawyers told jurors they would show it was the ketamine injection given by paramedics that resulted in McClain’s death.
