Defense attorneys for two Denver-area police officers charged in the 2019 killing of Elijah McClain are trying to cast doubt on whether a neck hold by police contributed to his death.

If the neck hold caused McClain to vomit and then he inhaled his vomit into his lungs while being restrained by police, the hold could have contributed to the problems caused by the ketamine, Cina said. While Cina said that McClain had inhaled his vomit, he said that could also have happened after being given the ketamine and put in the ambulance while laying on his back.
Jurors were shown surveillance video from the store of McClain wearing the mask and waiting to pay for three cans of ice tea. No one else in the store appeared concerned that he was in a mask, although the clerk’s back was to the camera. Cina testified that he received deaths threats because of his original autopsy report. He also said people upset about it showed up outside his home and that a “self-proclaimed witch” from New England sent him a lock of her hair and put a curse on him.
