<p>A presiding judge has <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-finds-sufficient-evidence-continue-elijah-mcclain-case/story?id=87065423">denied</a> the motion to dismiss charges against former Aurora, CO officers and paramedics charged in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain.</p>
<p>Lawyers for five men requested an Adams County Judge to review their cases. The defendants&#8217; argued there wasn&#8217;t enough evidence to support the charges.</p>
<p>Judge Priscilla Loew reviewed thousands of pages that included testimony and evidence and found there was enough evidence to proceed with a trial against the defendants.</p>
<p>In the order, she stated:</p>

<blockquote>
<div id=":nk" tabindex="-1">After reviewing the grand jury materials, the court finds, when viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the people and with all inferences in favor of the prosecution, there is sufficient evidence to establish probable cause for each of the counts listed in the grand jury indictment</div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The paramedics also face assault counts related to “intentionally causing stupor, unconsciousness, or other physical or mental impairment or injury” for administering ketamine to Elijah without consent for a purpose other than lawful medical treatment.</span></p>
