2nd police officer acquitted in death of Elijah McClain
Quick Glance: Second Officer Acquitted in Elijah McClain's Death After Neck Hold and Ketamine
- Elijah McClain's mother cried as a verdict was read acquitting a second officer in her son's death.
- McClain's death sparked national outrage over racial injustice in policing after he was put in a neck hold and injected with an overdose of ketamine.
- In a recent trial, a 12-person jury found Aurora officer Nathan Woodyard, who put McClain in the neck hold, not guilty of homicide and manslaughter after a weeks-long trial in district court.
- This fight is not over for Sheneen McClain. The killings of McClain, Floyd, and others triggered a wave of legislation that put limits on the use of neck holds in more than two dozen states, including Colorado, which now also tells paramedics not to give ketamine to people suspected of having a disputed condition known as excited delirium.
