A Colorado judge has sentenced a former paramedic to a jail work release program and probation in the death of Elijah McClain.
A former paramedic who injected Elijah McClain with a powerful sedative avoided prison Friday and was sentenced to 14 months in jail with work release and probation in the killing of the Black man that helped fuel the 2020 racial injustice protests. Jeremy Cooper had faced up to three years in prison after being found guilty in a jury trial last year of criminally negligent homicide.
Harris added that juries are often reluctant to second-guess the actions of police and other first responders. “It's still very hard to convict,” he said. Cooper said during the hearing that he was sorry he couldn’t save McClain. “I want you to know that I would give anything to have a different outcome, Elijah,' Cooper said as if he were talking to McClain. “I never, ever meant for anyone to hurt you.
