Authorities say officers involved with two fatal stun gun incidents won't likely be prosecuted
ATLANTA (AP) -- Authorities say officers involved with two fatal stun gun incidents won't likely be prosecuted.
Medical examiner Pat Bailey said Wednesday that autopsies found that both victims were under the influence of drugs and had prior medical conditions, including obesity. He says though a death that follows an altercation between two people is considered a homicide, it doesn't necessarily mean it is a murder.
Medical examiner's reports released to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ruled the use of a stun gun was one of several factors that contributed to Audrecas Davis' and Sukeba Jackson-Olawunmi's deaths.
Davis died after police say he was combative in a hotel on May 9. Police stunned Jackson-Olawunmi on May 14 after she was reportedly screaming and kicking doors at a Clarkson apartment complex.
