When police officer Kristian White tasered 95 year old Clare Nowland in an aged care facility last year, he said the great grandmother was a threat because she was carrying a knife. 

But a jury has found him guilty of manslaughter.

Today, we speak with reporter Jason Om who has been covering the case and with criminologist Xanthe Mallett about how police use tasers.
