ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — The jury has been seated, and opening statements will begin Tuesday in the trial against the third Aurora police officer charged in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain.
The former officer ordered McClain to stop and grabbed his arm as Rosenblatt and Roedema arrived at the scene to assist in McClain’s arrest. The grand jury indictment against the three officers and two paramedics who responded to the scene came nearly two years after a local prosecutor decided against prosecuting the officers largely because the coroner’s office could not determine exactly how McClain died. He called McClain’s death “tragic,” but said that finding made it hard to prove that the officers’ actions caused his death.
