One Aurora officer found guilty by jury on lesser charges in death of Elijah McClain

One Aurora police officer was found guilty on Thursday for his role in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain. Randy Roedema has been convicted on the lesser charges of criminally negligent homicide and assault in the third degree.

The other officer on trial, Jason Rosenblatt, was found not guilty.

An Adams County jury deliberated for about two days in reaching their verdict, which was read in a Brighton courtroom with McClain’s mother, Sheneen, in attendance.
