MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Bryan v. Macpherson, 630 F.3d 805 (9th Cir. 2010):

7. We recognize, however, that like any generally non-lethal force, the taser is capable of being employed in a manner to cause the victim's death. See, e.g., Oliver v. Fiorino, 586 F.3d 898, 906 (11th Cir.2009).
