The state hoped to recoup nearly $120,000. That's money the Colorado Attorney General's Office spent taking the first responders to trial.

AURORA, Colo. — A judge has ordered a now-former police officerto reimburse the state more than $25,000 to help defray the costs of his prosecution, 9NEWS Investigates has learned.

A separate motion is pending that would – if granted – compel former paramedics Peter Cichuniec and Jeremy Cooper to jointly reimburse the state more than $52,000. The fatal confrontation with first responders that ended McClain’s life began the night of Aug. 23, 2019, when a 911 caller reported the man was wearing a mask and seemed “sketchy.”

Cichuniec and Cooper then injected McClain with the sedative ketamine, and a short time later his heart stopped.The jury that found Roedema guilty of criminally negligent homicide and third-degree assault also acquitted Rosenblatt.
