In the near future, a police officer will be facing a trial for the accusation of unlawfully killing an elderly woman. The woman had been tasered at a nursing home, which ultimately led to her passing. Senior Constable Kristian White, who had previously entered a plea of not guilty to manslaughter in April, appeared once again in the NSW Supreme Court on Tuesday. The court set a date for his jury trial in November.
According to the allegations, White had used a Taser on 95-year-old Clare Nowland at an aged-care home in Cooma, a town in southern New South Wales. The incident occurred in the early hours of May 17, 2023. Nowland, who suffered from dementia and used a walking frame, was said to have been holding a steak knife and pointing it towards an officer who was with White at the time. It was at this moment that White deployed the stun gun.
Unfortunately, Nowland fell and hit her head on the floor, resulting in an inoperable bleed on her brain. She later passed away in the hospital. The 33-year-old officer's trial is set to commence on November 11.
The incident has caused much concern and attention, especially with the recent news of a man carrying a bucket down the road before a sudden explosion. The details of this case have raised questions and sparked discussions about the use of force by law enforcement and the safety of vulnerable individuals in their care. As the case moves forward, the community awaits the outcome of the trial and the potential impact it may have on future situations involving the use of Tasers.
