Oakland man acquitted in killing where gunshot victim was injected with controversial sedative

At trial, Arias' attorney presented a twofold defense. He argued on the one hand that the shooting was self-defense, and said in court records another man had been seen with a gun at the party. The defense also attacked the official cause of death that Henriquez-Martinez died from a gunshot wound, arguing instead that it was medical negligence, based on a paramedic's decision to inject Henriquez-Martinez with midazolam, a sedative commonly known as Versed, shortly after he'd been shot.
