A group of police officers and paramedics have pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the role they are accused of playing in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain.
DENVER — A group of police officers and paramedics pleaded not guilty Friday to charges stemming from the role they are accused of playing in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, who was forcibly restrained and injected with ketamine.
McClain's death fueled renewed scrutiny about the use of the ketamine and led Colorado's health department to issue a rule limiting when emergency workers can use it. A judge ruled there would be three separate trials, the first of which is set to begin in July for officers Roedema and Rosenblatt. Another trial for Cooper and Cichuniec is scheduled for August. Woodyard's trial is set for September.
Polis ordered the state investigation after a former district attorney said he could not file charges because an autopsy could not determine how McClain died. His death helped inspire a sweeping police accountability law in Colorado, a ban on chokeholds and restrictions on the use of the sedative ketamine.
