Officer faints on witness stand during taser lawsuit

Strange little story from Texas...

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - ...Officer Marsh Blackmore was on the stand when he apparently fainted... [LINK]

Too much stress?

... In July of 2006, Lubbock Police Officer Blackmore tased L.J. McCallan during a traffic stop. ... Dashcam video has been shown numerous times to the jury since the trial began on Tuesday. McCallan testified that he did not have time to react to the police officer before he was tased. McCallan is seeking medical expenses and punitive damages. ...

Update: More here [LINK].

UPDATE (20 October 2009): Officer Blackmore was given the benefit of the doubt and has been cleared.
