Paramedics’ McClain Convictions Reversed, Retrial Ordered

The Colorado Court of Appeals threw out the criminally negligent homicide convictions of two Aurora paramedics connected to Elijah McClain’s 2019 death, sending the cases back to district court for possible retrial after finding jurors were misled about the standard of care; the assault conviction against one of the paramedics remains upheld, and because the pair were tried together, the reversal applies to both.
