The Court ruled that a lawsuit against the Seattle, Washington police for shooting a pregnant woman with a Taser for refusing to sign a traffic ticket could move forward to trial, rejecting the police officers’ motion for summary judgment. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2004474548_taser13m.html This lawsuit is a similar to Federal case tried recently in federal court in Maine, in which the jury found a South Portland Police Officer liable for shooting a man with a Taser who had been pulled over for speeding and was arrested for Operating Under the Influence.
