Paramedics on Trial for Elijah McClain's Death Claim 'Excited Delirium'

Pathologist testifies that McClain's death was due to complications of ketamine administration following restraint.

Elijah McClain died after being stopped by police and injected with ketamine by paramedics who claimed he had 'excited delirium', a disputed condition.
Paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Peter Cichuniec are on trial, having pleaded not guilty to manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and several counts each of assault.
Colorado officials have decided that police officers will no longer be trained to look for 'excited delirium' starting in 2024.
Pathologist Dr. Stephen Cina testified that the cause of McClain's death was complications of ketamine administration following restraint.
The trial is scheduled to continue through most of December, but was in recess until Friday due to a juror testing positive for COVID-19.
