This is the best summary I could come up with:

The jury’s guilty verdicts on Friday for Aurora EMTs Peter Cichuniec and Jeremy Cooper mark an extraordinarily rare case of paramedics being found criminally liable for a civilian’s death in police custody and follow years of protests.

The 23-year-old was stopped on a walk home on 24 August 2019, and became unconscious as he was held down by multiple officers before the paramedics arrived and injected him with a dangerously high dose of ketamine.

Footage showed the officers aggressively approaching McClain, telling him he was “being suspicious” and quickly forcing him to the ground and placing him in a neck hold.

But after roughly two minutes on the scene, and without checking McClain’s vitals or talking to him, the paramedics concluded he was suffering from “excited delirium”, a pseudoscientific diagnosis that has faced widespread scrutiny in recent years.

The term, which is not recognized by major medical associations, suggests that people can develop “superhuman strength” after using certain drugs, and it has been repeatedly cited to justify deaths at the hands of police, especially Black men.

The coroner’s office initially said the cause of death could not be determined, but later revised the autopsy to say McClain died from “complications of ketamine administration following forcible restraint”.
