Description

A man, Leonard Sandiford, was paralyzed after falling from a wall during a police chase in London. Sandiford was fleeing from officers responding to a suspected burglary and was tasered twice by Constable Liam Newman while perched on an outbuilding. Sandiford fell, suffering a severe spinal cord injury that left him tetraplegic. Newman is on trial for grievous bodily harm, with prosecutors arguing he used unreasonable force.
