Cop who Tasered OAP found guilty of manslaughter

A jury found Kristian James Samuel White guilty in the trial in Sydney, after 20 hours of deliberation.

White, 34, who is on bail, could get up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced later.

Clare Nowland, a great-grandmother who had dementia and used a walker, refused to put down the steak knife she was holding when the officer discharged his Taser at her in May 2023, after an incident at her nursing home in New South Wales (NSW).
