An Australia police officer who shocked a 95-year-old woman with a Taser is guilty of manslaughter

In Sydney, Australia, police officer Sen Const Kristian James Samuel White was found guilty of manslaughter for shocking 95-year-old nursing home resident Clare Nowland with a Taser, causing her to fall and hit her head, leading to her death. White discharged his weapon after Nowland, who had dementia and was holding a steak knife, refused to put it down despite multiple warnings. The jury rejected White’s argument that his use of the Taser was a proportionate response, and he now faces a possible prison term of up to 25 years in jail in New South Wales.
