The Trial(s) Of Those Who Killed Elijah McClain


Listen Later

After the 2019 death of Elijah McClain at the hands of Aurora Colorado police, no charges were filed. Then, spurred on by activism over the murder of George Floyd, the Governor of Colorado ordered the case reopened. After two trials resulting in mixed verdicts, the paramedics who administered ketamine to McClain stand accused. We check in with Alison Borden, an editor from Colorado Public Radio who has been following the case. Plus, the college presidents who muddled a seemingly simple answer about calls for genocide. And Bernie Sanders isn't BS-ing about Hamas.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
