A jury in Colorado has reached a split verdict in the trial of two police officers charged in the death of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old unarmed Black man who died in police custody in 2019. Police officer Randy Roedema was found guilty of criminally negligent homicide, while the other officer was acquitted. The verdict comes after a prosecutor told jurors in closing arguments that the officers repeatedly and unreasonably assaulted McClain during a police stop. McClain's death sparked widespread protests against racial injustice. The case highlights ongoing concerns about excessive use of force by law enforcement.
