By Sean Sirrine
Taser has won an unprecedented 69 straight victories in the court system, but has now sustained its first loss.According to the New York Times (quoting The Herald of Monterey):
"A federal jury has held Taser International responsible for the death of a Salinas man in U.S. District Court in San Jose on Friday, and awarded his family more than $6 million in punitive and compensatory damages.
An attorney for the family called the verdict a ?landmark decision,? and indicated that it was the first time Taser International had been held responsible for a death or injury linked to its product."
