A jury in Oklahoma found Joshua Taylor and Brandon Dingman, former Wilson officers guilty of second-degree assault and battery using a dangerous firearm. Jared Lakey was killed after being shocked 53 times by their Tasers. Two men claimed that Lakey refused to obey their instructions, despite being suspected of disorderly behaviour. The footage from Lakey’s bodycam showed him not acting aggressively toward the others.
