Jeremy Cooper, former paramedic who injected Elijah McClain with ketamine, sentenced to probation after homicide conviction in McClain's death, part of 2020 racial injustice protests.
Series of trials over seven months led to convictions of a police officer and two paramedics in McClain's death, indicating a shift in accountability for those involved in police custody cases.
Experts highlight the uniqueness of these convictions, attributing them to the nationwide reckoning over racist policing sparked by George Floyd's murder in 2020.
McClain's mother expressed dissatisfaction, stating that the acquitted officers and other personnel at the scene were complicit in her son's killing and escaped justice.
