Mixed Verdict in Trial of Officers Involved in Elijah McClain's Death

In a split decision, a Colorado jury convicted one police officer and acquitted another in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, a young unarmed Black man. The jury found Randy Roedema guilty of criminally negligent homicide and assault, while Jason Rosenblatt was found not guilty. McClain's case gained national attention following the murder of George Floyd, and his death involved the use of a carotid chokehold and injection of a powerful sedative by emergency medical workers.
