NSW Officer Kristian White Guilty of Manslaughter in 2023 Fatal Tasering of 95-Year-Old
Nov 27, 2024, 01:52 AM
New South Wales police officer Kristian White has been found guilty of manslaughter in the fatal tasering of 95-year-old Clare Nowland. The incident occurred in 2023 at a rural nursing home, where Nowland, who was using a walker and holding a knife, was tasered in the chest by White after he reportedly said 'bugger it' and fired his Taser at her. The jury rejected White's claims that he acted lawfully. The family of Nowland sobbed as the verdict was read. The case has drawn significant attention due to Nowland's advanced age and the circumstances of the incident.
