Denver7 is following the trial for two Aurora officers, Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt who have pleaded not guilty to charges of manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and second-degree assault in the arrest of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old massage therapist, encountered police on Aug. 24, 2019 after a person called 911 to report a “sketchy” man walking in Aurora.Police responded and put McClain, who was unarmed and had not committed a crime, into a neck hold.
Libhart was working at UCHealth the night of McClain’s arrest and attended to him when he was admitted to the hospital. She explained the procedures that go into submitting and inputting blood orders for analysis.The prosecution then called their second witness, Michael Lamb, a forensic toxicologist who has been working at NMS Labs in Pennsylvania for the past 11 years.
He was then questioned about the many types of tests that were performed on Elijah McClain's blood, such as an atomoxetine test that would reveal ketamine in the blood, confirmatory tests for cannabinoids that could test for things like marijuana, as well as broad spectrum tests for psychoactive drugs that might have been present in McClain's body the night of his arrest.
Burnstein then posed a series of questions about the effects of that amount of ketamine on someone's body, including whether such amounts could cause someone to vomit, whether that amount of ketamine can cause acidosis , whether it can cause excessive salivation or excessive mucosa.
