Description
A paramedic who treated Herman Whitfield III in his home testified Tuesday during the second day of the trial for two IMPD officers charged in his death.
Also Tuesday, only one officer questioned if Herman Whitfield III should be rolled onto his side after he was tased, fell to the ground, and then handcuffed in a prone position.
IMPD Ofc. Nicholas Mathew told prosecutors his training taught him that leaving someone in a prone position for too long, especially an obese person, can lead to serious injury or death.
The accused officers are both 2-year veterans of IMPD: Adam Ahmad and Steven Sanchez.
