Here's what you need to know about McClain's death and the trial in state court:HOW DID ELIJAH McCLAIN DIE?
A Colorado prosecutor initially decided against prosecuting McClain’s death largely because the coroner’s office could not determine exactly how he died.
Roedema, a former Marine who is currently suspended without pay, had been with the department for five years before McClain’s death.
The two officers have not talked publicly about McClain’s death and it’s unknown if they’ll take the stand to testify.
Their lawyers told jurors that the officers' actions followed police policies and weren’t responsible for McClain’s death.
