Jeremy Cooper, a former paramedic involved in the Elijah McClain case, was sentenced to 14 months in jail and probation after being found guilty of criminally negligent homicide.
Criminal charges against paramedics and emergency medical technicians in police custody cases are rare, making this case a notable exception.
Elijah McClain's mother expressed disappointment in everyone present during the incident, blaming them for her son's death and highlighting the lack of assistance provided by Cooper.
Cooper's sentencing allows him to leave jail for work and return at night and weekends under a program that combines probation and jail time.
