Five Aurora, Colorado, first responders will be arraigned on charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, among other counts, in the death of Elijah McClain.
McClain died in 2019 after being stopped by police, placed in a chokehold and injected with ketamine as a sedative.
Aurora police officers Nathan Woodyard and Randy Roedema, former officer Jason Rosenblatt and paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Lt. Peter Cichuniec were indicted on a total of 32 counts related to McClain's violent arrest and death in August 2019."The paramedics, Cichuniec and Cooper, generally assert that the actions of the law enforcement officers occurring prior to their arrival were factually unrelated to their actions implicated in their cases," Warner wrote in the court order.
"The Court well understands the legal theory of complicity. Nonetheless, the Court finds that under the particular facts as alleged in this case warrant severance of trials," the order read.
