Aurora police officer Nathan Woodyard was found not guilty by a Colorado jury Monday on all charges related to the death of Elijah McClain, an unarmed 23-year-old Black man who died after he was wrestled to the ground by police and injected with ketamine by paramedics in 2019.

Woodyard had pleaded not guilty to charges of reckless manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in connection with McClain’s death. The officer remains suspended from the department without pay, pending the outcome of the trial.

1. Hope there's a civil trial

These murders cannot go unpunished.

2. Every mention of Elijah's name makes me cry.

We lost a beautiful young man, and his murderer goes free to do it again.

5. Yes, he was a sweet soul

and to in any way attempt to justify his murder is so void of morality. They all should have pled guilty if they have any sense of shame.

3. I'm very angry, but not a bit surprised.

9. I wonder if there was any jury tampering?

Meaning suggesting to a jury member that might be prone to negative interaction with police of some consequences?

Or a jury member that is more on the side of police no matter what?

10. More of the same

There is no justice for the poor and people of color. Yes, the system is rigged.
