The trial is underway for a former Aurora Police officer accused of witnessing and not intervening when another now-former officer pistol-whipped and strangled a man with an outstanding warrant.
Francine Martinez was fired from the Aurora Police Department (APD) and is charged with two misdemeanor counts of failure to intervene and failure to report use of force. Her trial began Wednesday morning in Arapahoe County.
In July 2021, Martinez and John Haubert responded to a trespassing call in the 3100 block of South Parker Road. While responding to that call, the officers encountered Kyle Vinson, who had an active warrant out for his arrest.
