About This Episode
On 8/22/2021, a Colorado grand jury handed down a 32-count criminal indictment against the police officers and EMS personnel involved in the incident that led to Elijah McClain’s death. On this episode of the Standard of Care, Nick and Samantha try to untangle what these indictments could mean for the EMS community. We reach out to our resident experts - former prosecutor (now business lawyer) Chris Timmons and defense attorney (and Samantha’s law school classmate) Stephen Coxen – for answers. How do prosecutors even decide to file charges in a case like this? How does a grand jury work? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution’s case, and how does a criminal defense attorney defend a client against these charges? What can EMTs and paramedics do to protect themselves from potential criminal liability? Please like, comment, and subscribe!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
