A |     A jury in Adams County, Colorado, has found Randy Roedema guilty of criminally negligent homicide and assault in the third degree in the death of 23-year-old Elijah McClain.Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt were the two officers first tried in connection to McClain's death.Rosenblatt was found not guilty on charges of reckless manslaughter, assault in the second degree and criminally negligent homicide.The two men, along with Officer Nathan Woodyard, who was first on the scene, and two paramedics, pleaded not guilty. The trial of Roedema and Rosenblatt lasted almost a month, with opening arguments starting on Sept. 20.The prosecution argued that the two officers violated department protocol by using excessive force against McClain. Prosecutor Jonathan Bunge argued that the two men failed to de-escalate the situation."When Elijah is on the ground handcuffed, he's saying over and over and over again, 'I can't breathe. Please help me,'" said Bunge during opening arguments, adding that McClain vomited after the chokehold and was drowning in vomit."There was no doubt that there was forcible restraint and heard the testimony from Dr. Beuther who said that ketamine is a sedative, but when someone is in respiratory distress they are at greater risk," said Special Assistant Attorney General Duane Lyons during closing arguments.The defense argued that the officers followed their department policies and training, instead blaming McClain's death on the EMTs who later arrived at the scene and gave McClain a shot of ketamine. The EMTs also claimed they were following department protocol at the time."There's little doubt that this case is a tragedy. But if you take the emotion out of this case, which is what you must do, the [prosecution falls] woefully short," said Don Sisson, Officer Roedema's attorney, during closing arguments. "They cannot prove Randy's actions or inactions were criminal in any way."Following the verdict, Attorney General Phil Weiser released a statement thanking the jury and calling attention to Elijah McClain and the McClain family."Today’s verdict is about accountability; everyone is accountable and equal under the law. And hopefully today’s verdict is another step in the healing process for the Aurora community and the state. I recognize that some people may not agree with the verdict, but we all must respect the jury system, which is a pillar of our democratic republic," he said in a statement. "The people who served on the jury are our neighbors, regular Coloradans who interrupted their lives for weeks to hear the evidence in the case, to deliberate, and to deliver justice. I thank the members of the jury for their service."We are here today because Elijah McClain mattered. He was just 23 years old when he died, and he had his whole life ahead of him. His mother, Sheneen McClain, has had to relive that tragic night repeatedly for the last five years. Yet I, and all of us, are inspired by her courage and devotion to her son. Sheneen has been incredibly resilient and determined to not let anyone forget about Elijah. I want to thank Sheneen for her strength, grace, and understanding. Elijah’s memory lives on as a blessing," his statement read.Interim Chief of Police of Aurora, Colorado, Art Acevedo, also posted a statement on X in reaction to the verdicts.“I know many have been waiting a long time for the involved parties to have their day in court," his statement read. "As a nation, we must be committed to the rule of law. As such, we hold the American judicial process in high regard. We respect the verdict handed down by the jury and thank the members of the jury for their thoughtful deliberation and service. Due to the additional pending trials, the Aurora Police Department is precluded from further comment at this time."McClain died after being stopped by police on his way home from a convenience store in August 2019. A passerby called 911 to report McClain as acting "sketchy" with a ski mask on; however, the caller said there was no weapon and that no one was in danger at the time.In police body camera footage, McClain can be heard saying, "I have a right to where I am going."One of the officers told McClain he had a right to stop him because he was "being suspicious."Woodyard then placed McClain in a carotid hold and all three officers moved McClain by force to the grass and restrained him. McClain can be heard pleading with officers in body cam footage, saying he can't breathe correctly.When EMTs arrived at the scene, McClain was given a shot of 500 milligrams of ketamine for "rapid tranquilization in order to minimize time struggling," according to department policy, and was loaded into an ambulance where he had a heart attack, according to investigators.McClain's cause of death, which was previously listed as "undetermined," was listed in the amended report as "complications of ketamine administration following forcible restraint." The manner of death remained listed as "undetermined" as it was in the initial report.The EMTs at the scene, Jeremy Cooper and Lt. Peter Cichuniec, will be tried together at a later date in connection with McClain's death.Woodyard will be tried separately because he was first on the scene and applied the hold, according to a court order.。    8月26日讯 在新赛季的首轮意甲联赛,罗马主场4-0大胜佛罗伦萨。波兰名宿博涅克过去曾在罗马效力过,目前担任欧足联副主席的他在接受采访时进行了点评。罗马在本赛季能争夺意甲冠军吗?我建议大家冷静一些。罗马的开局很好,但我不会现在就得出结论。赛季很漫长,罗马还需要参加至少8场欧冠比赛以及意大利杯比赛。罗马开局不错,但我们面对的对手是一支刚组建不久还在各自为战的新球队。佛罗伦萨在比赛中没有制造任何困难,而罗马顺利把握了机会。你认为谁是意甲夺冠热门?我认为,目前国米依然是意甲最强球队,罗马和其他球队排在第二梯队。但是,我认为加斯佩里尼的这支罗马真的是一个大家庭,每个人都非常清楚自己的位置。在首轮意甲联赛中,马伦上演帽子戏法,而迪巴拉助攻3次,你对这对罗马锋线搭档有何评价?我不知道当初是谁在罗马提出引进马伦的,但别忘了当时他在维拉还只是替补。罗马签下马伦只花了2500万欧元,如今他至少值7000万至8000万欧元。

B | 至于迪巴拉,如果他能一直保持健康,现在可能会在皇马或巴萨效力。迪巴拉每次触球都可能创造出机会,昨天我看到他的状态很好。

C | 不过目前我暂且保留对他的过高期望,因为之前他曾在罚一个点球时受伤。

D | 皮奥·埃斯波西托在首轮意甲联赛打进一个精彩的脚后跟进球,你认为他在国米能踢一个怎样的赛季?本赛季他在意大利足坛可能会有很不错的表现。我很喜欢他,他很年轻,并且随时可能进球,上赛季的某些时刻他已经展示出自己的很多能力。
