Senior Constable Kristian White tasered 95-year-old Clare Nowland, but the decision to find him guilty of manslaughter was whether or not his actions were reasonably necessary.

A police officer who shocked a 95-year-old nursing home resident with a Taser was found guilty of manslaughter in an Australian court.

The police officer who aimed his Taser sights at a 95-year-old woman and ended her life will soon learn if he faces prison isolation or remains on bail ahead of his manslaughter sentence.
