OKLAHOMA - Two Oklahoma police officers have been charged with second-degree murder after they used Tasers more than 50 times on a man who later died, according to court records.

Court records said that"such dangerous and unnecessary tasing" was a"substantial factor" in bringing about Mr Lakey's death. Calls to the Wilson Police Department were not immediately returned Thursday, and it was not immediately clear if Dingman and Taylor were still on the force. Mr Bryan said that the Lakey family had filed a public records lawsuit and a federal civil rights lawsuit in connection with Mr Lakey's death. Both lawsuits are pending.

It stated that there was no indication that Mr Lakey had committed a serious offence and no indication that he had threatened Taylor or Dingman.
