Excerpt:
A police officer shocked a handcuffed Baron "Scooter" Pikes nine times with a Taser after arresting
him on a cocaine charge. Baron Pikes, 21, was Tasered nine times by a police officer in Winnfield, Louisiana.
He stopped twitching after seven, according to a coroner's report. Soon afterward, Pikes was dead.

Now the officer, since fired, could end up facing criminal charges in Pikes' January death after
medical examiners ruled it a homicide. The coroner said the 21-year-old man was jolted
so many times by the Taser that he might have been dead before the last two shocks were delivered.
