Taser Stun-Gun Verdict Supports Litigation as Means for Solving Social Issues
Trial Bar News
(2008)
Abstract
For years, political groups have been advocating for policy reforms to foster
better regulations on stun guns, including regulations aimed at minimizing
the risk of death resulting from the use of such weapons and/or
passing legislation that would require electronic control devices to be used
only as an alternative to deadly force. These efforts are routinely met with
strong opposition. The outcome of a recent federal trial against the leading
stun gun manufacturer suggests that the litigation approach might also better
accomplish the goals of reforming this industry.
