Description
The trial for two IMPD officers begins Monday, Dec. 2, on charges in the death of Herman Whitfield III after police shocked him with a Taser and restrained him face down during a mental health crisis in his parents' home.
Officers Adam Ahmad and Steven Sanchez were indicted by a grand jury in April 2023 in Whitfield's 2022 death. On Nov. 4, 2024, a judge denied a motion to dismiss the criminal charges brought by that grand jury.
The officers, who have been on administrative leave, are being tried together as co-defendants.
The men both face one felony count each of involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide, battery resulting in serious bodily injury and battery resulting in moderate injury, and one misdemeanor battery charge.
