Episode Details

The Elijah McClain case is far from over — just when it seemed the paramedics convicted of criminally negligent homicide might get a final verdict, the Colorado Court of Appeals ordered a new trial, though one assault conviction stood. The prosecutor plans to appeal to the state supreme court, with filings due by July 16, potentially dragging this legal saga into the rest of the year. McClain, 23, died after being injected with ketamine during a police stop, sparking national outrage and police reform demands. The Attorney General’s office prosecuted both paramedics and officers, including Randy Roedema, who’s also appealing his conviction. Meanwhile, Aurora’s police department, under a consent decree since McClain’s death, faces a major overhaul as the city prepares to dissolve the current oversight and create a new police oversight office — all while legal battles continue to unfold.
