## Resource

Two paramedics convicted in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, a Black man who died after being restrained and given ketamine, are getting a new trial — a major legal blow that reignites debate over police and first responder conduct, the controversial “excited delirium” diagnosis, and whether justice is being served or delayed. The Colorado appeals court overturned their homicide convictions, though one paramedic’s assault charge remains intact. The state’s attorney plans to appeal, keeping the case alive — and the national conversation about accountability, medical ethics, and racial justice, echoing George Floyd’s final words, far from over.
