"Sentencing Imminent for Ex-Colorado Officer Convicted in Elijah McClain Case"

Former Colorado police officer Randy Roedema, convicted of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Elijah McClain, is set to be sentenced. McClain died after a 2019 encounter with police in Aurora, where he was restrained and injected with ketamine. Roedema could face up to six years in prison or receive probation. The case has seen mixed outcomes for the involved officers, with some convicted and others acquitted. Officer Nathan Woodyard, acquitted of charges, has returned to work, while paramedics involved were also found guilty of criminally negligent homicide. Officer Jason Rosenblatt, who was not guilty of manslaughter but was fired for an insensitive text, was not convicted. Roedema's sentencing will take place before Judge Mark Warner.
