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

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — A police officer who shocked a 95-year-old nursing home resident with a Taser was found guilty of manslaughter in an Australian court. A jury found Kristian James Samuel White guilty Wednesday after 20 hours of deliberation. Clare Nowland, a great-grandmother who had dementia, was refusing to put down the steak knife she was holding when White discharged his Taser in May 2023. Police said Nowland died from hitting her head on the floor when she fell. White faces up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced later.
