Taser company being sued over teen's death

Darryl Wayne Turner, 17, was tasered directly in the chest for 37 seconds, and died of cardiac arrest. The taser shock was implicated as a cause of death. See [LINK].

Taser International would claim that the taser has a statistically-huge 15-to-1 safety margin and therefore couldn't possibly have anything to do with the death. Too bad they're wrong. Now they're up to their neck in serious legal doo-doo.
