2 ex-Oklahoma officers convicted of murder in stun gun death [View all]

ARDMORE, Okla. (AP) — Two former Oklahoma police officers face up to 10 years in prison after being convicted of murder for using their stun guns more than 50 times on an unarmed man who later died.

A Carter County jury last week convicted former Wilson police officers Brandon Dingman, 35, and Joshua Taylor, 27, of second-degree murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. They each face up to 10 years in prison when they’re formally sentenced next month.

Taylor's attorney, Warren Gotcher, said he was “extremely disappointed" with the verdict.

“We obviously hope an appeal will correct this injustice," Gotcher said.
