A Colorado appeals court ordered new trials for paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Peter Cichuniec regarding the 2019 death of Elijah McClain.The ruling found that original jury instructions were flawed for the homicide charges, although the court maintained the felony assault conviction against Peter Cichuniec.Attorney General Phil Weiser plans to appeal this reversal after the case highlighted the controversial use of ketamine during police restraint.Jeremy Cooper and
Peter Cichuniec previously faced sentences for their roles in the incident that resulted in a fifteen million dollar legal settlement.
