SYDNEY (Reuters) -An Australian police officer who fatally shocked a 95-year-old care home resident with a Taser gun was found guilty of manslaughter on Wednesday.

Kristian White was called to a care home in Cooma, a town around 90 minutes south of the capital Canberra, in May 2023, after reports that resident Clare Nowland, who suffered from symptoms of dementia, was acting erratically.
