    Ciara Anderson, Omeed Azmoudeh, and Crist Whitney – Part 2: The “Main Brains” Behind $20M Police Shooting Verdict
    Jan 30 2026
    In Part 2 of his look at a high-profile civil rights case, host Keith Fuicelli interviews the young trial team that secured $20 million. These “main brains” behind the verdict – Ciara Anderson, Omeed Azmoudeh, and Crist Whitney – reveal how they divided duties to represent six bystanders who were injured when a former Denver police officer shot into a crowd. Tune in for their insights about voir dire (“we went in with the strategy of finding liberal gun owners”), themes in opening (“you do not shoot into a crowd”) and witness preparation (“for our client, I wanted to get his emotional story out to the jury.”).

  • Siddhartha Rathod and John Lee - Part 1 of Two-Part Series on $20M Verdict for Police Shooting Victims

    Siddhartha Rathod and John Lee - Part 1 of Two-Part Series on $20M Verdict for Police Shooting Victims
    Jan 7 2026
    A former Denver police officer was never held accountable for shooting into a crowd, injuring six bystanders. That is, not until a civil rights suit brought by Siddhartha Rathod, name partner at Rathod Mohamedbhai, the largest civil rights firm in the state, and John Lee, name partner at Fuicelli & Lee Injury Lawyers. In its $20 million verdict, the jurors sent a message that “you need to take responsibility,” Siddhartha explains. In Part I of this case breakdown, host Keith Fuicelli (John’s partner) moderates the discussion to explore how the trial team delivered their message. Come back in January for Part 2, when the three young attorneys who handled much of this case will join Keith to reveal how they prepared and won the “monster” verdict.Learn More and Connect with Colorado Trial Lawyers☑️ Siddhartha Rathod | LinkedIn☑️ Rathod Mohamedbhai on LinkedIn | Instagram | X | YouTube☑️ John Lee | LinkedIn☑️ Keith Fuicelli | LinkedIn☑️ Fuicelli & Lee Injury Lawyers on X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube
