If its court ordered its court ordered but using an electronic stun to gather evidence is unusual punishment which is also unlawful. A Taser was invented to be a non lethal WEAPON to subdue suspects that otherwise could be shot.
Yeah, I agree with you. In post #14, I said as much.
This was certainly cruel and unusual punishment, IMHO, not to mention reckless and potentially fatal. I'm surprised that this case made it this far and it hasn't been very well publicized. You might think that this guy might have some ground for a civil suit.
I hate to side with the criminal, but in this case I don't see any alternative.
