The jury has reached a verdict for two Aurora police officers who are on trial for the death of Elijah McClain.
The jury has reached a verdict in Adams County Court for two Aurora police officers who are on trial for the death of Elijah McClain. The death of the unarmed young Black man four years ago received widespread publicity inside and outside of Colorado and led to large-scale protests and reforms in Aurora's police department. The verdict was reached around 4:20 p.m. Thursday and is expected to be announced by the judge about 30 minutes later.
The body-worn camera videos taken of the interaction with McClain were played several times in the courtroom during the trial.'Stop right there. Stop. Stop,' one of the officers said in one of the videos, to which McClain, who was headed home from a convenience store, responded, 'I have a right to go where I am going.' The officer replied 'Stop. Stop. I have a right to stop you 'cause you're being suspicious.
