Officer convicted after tasering suspect nine times
A Victorian police officer has been convicted of ten counts of assault after tasering a suspect nine times in less than a minute during a family violence arrest in Warragul two years ago. The officer claimed self-defence, but the magistrate rejected this argument. The officer has been fined $11,000 and suspended without pay but will not face jail time, while the victim is now suing Victoria Police for psychological trauma.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
