[Devastating Tornado Strikes Central Tennessee, Claims Six Lives and Causes Widespread Damage] [Devastating Tornado Strikes Central Tennessee, Claims Six Lives and Causes Widespread Damage]( In case you missed it: Former Aurora Police Officer Receives 14-Month Prison Sentence for Death of Elijah McClain AURORA, Colo. - A former police officer in Aurora, Colorado, has been sentenced to 14 months in prison for the involvement in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, an unarmed Black man. The officer, Randy Roedema, was found guilty of criminally negligent homicide and third-degree assault in the case. McClain, 23, died after he was detained by Roedema and two other officers and injected with ketamine during a medical intervention, leading to heart failure. Roedema has until March 22 to report to the Adams County Sheriff's Detention Facility in Brighton, Colo., to begin serving his sentence. The incident took place when McClain was stopped and detained by the officers in Aurora, Colo., and was taken off life support at a hospital a week later. In addition to Roedema, former officers Nathan Woodyard and Jason Rosenblatt faced the same charges but were acquitted in November. Paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Peter Cichuniec were convicted of criminally negligent homicide for their role in McClain's death, with Cichuniec also convicted of assault in the second degree for unlawfully administering the drug that caused McClain's heart to stop. McClain's family stated that he often wore a ski mask due to a medical condition, and that he was unarmed when confronted by the police. His cries for help were reportedly ignored while he was pinned to the ground using a carotid control hold, cutting off blood flow to his brain. During Roedema's sentencing, the court expressed shock at the indifference shown to McClain's suffering, with the judge acknowledging that criminally negligent homicide is not considered a violent crime under the law. McClain's mother, Sheneen McClain, had called for the maximum allowable sentence of three years in prison for Roedema, stating that her son had had his whole life ahead of him and that the officer had stolen that from him. In summary, a former police officer in Aurora, Colorado, has been sentenced to 14 months in prison for the involvement in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, who died after being detained by the officer and two others and injected with ketamine during a medical intervention. Other individuals involved in the case, including former officers and paramedics, have also faced charges and convictions in connection with McClain's death.
