The Manuel Ellis trial continued Tuesday afternoon.
We heard from a couple more witnesses on Tuesday, including a paramedic.
Tacoma officers Christopher Burbank, Matthew Collins, and Timothy Rankine are all charged in Ellis’s death as a result of a violent arrest in 2020.
Paramedic Nicholas Wilson testified on Tuesday.
He said when he arrived at the scene, he could tell Ellis wasn’t breathing.
On Monday, state prosecutors warned the trial is running behind schedule. They’re saying it could now be the third week of November before they wrap their case.
We’ve been following along each day of the trial.
