Katie joined the Denver7 team as a digital content producer in April of 2023.
Denver7 is following the second of three trials in the case of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old unarmed Black man who died a few days after he was violently arrested by Aurora police on Aug. 24, 2019.
He was declared brain dead days later and died Aug. 30, 2019. A pathologist found he was given a higher dose of ketamine than recommended for somebody of his size and, as a result, he overdosed. The City of Aurora settled a civil lawsuit with McClain’s family in November 2021 for $15 million. Dunson was also called to testify during the trial of Roedema and Rosenblatt that ended just over a week ago. In prior testimony, Dunson said he was at the scene about four minutes total before he was told he was no longer needed there and left.
During defense attorney Andrew E. Ho's cross examination, he made a point to ask Dunson whether his memory was hazy after four years and testifying three different times in the case. Dunson agreed. The prosecution also confirmed that Dunson did say McClain was not fully in the recovery position when Dunson was on scene.The court took a mid-morning break for about 20 minutes and resumed the trial around 11:05 a.m.
