The parents of Elijah McClain spoke out on Wednesday after Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced a 32-count indictment against three police officers and two paramedics involved in their son's death. McClain, a 23-year-old massage therapist from Aurora, Colorado, died on Aug. 30, 2019, after being apprehended by police as he was walking home from a convenience store. "It's a sliver of justice. I mean, full justice can never be done here because Elijah will never return to us … he's dead and his family is going to have to go on without him for all time," the family's attorney, Iris Halpern, told ABC News. "It's a prayer answered," McClain's father, LaWayne Mosley, told ABC News, adding that he was "ecstatic" to learn of the indictment.
