This first trial involves city of Aurora police officer Randy Roedema and former officer Jason Rosenblatt, who are both charged with manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and other charges. Local prosecutors at first declined to press charges in McClain's death. Aurora police officer Nathan Woodyard, who is accused of putting McClain in a chokehold, will stand trial alone on the same charges in October. Two paramedics who injected McClain with ketamine are scheduled for a joint trial on the same charges in November. The other two officers and the paramedics have been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the trial.
