Attorney & Expert Witness Use Stun Gun on Client

by

San Bernardino County, CA prosecutors may file criminal charges against an attorney and an expert witness who shocked their client with a Taser when trying to show how police injured their client with the stun gun. ABCNewsOnline also writes:

Police say they briefly used the Taser a few times on Peter Schlueter’s client George Engman to subdue him when they arrested him last year. Schlueter, who claims the police used excessive force against his client, said Engman had injuries that could only come from about a dozen zaps, or about 30 to 50 seconds, with the Taser.

But, after the tape was shown, San Bernardino County Deputy District Attorney Dan Ross said that Schlueter and his consultant Roger Clark may have violated the state’s human experimentation law, which requires patients to sign waivers for medical experiments, according to Schlueter and local news reports.
