RE:

Tammy Lou Fontenot v. TASER International, Inc., et al.

Introduction

I am a board-certified emergency department physician with substantial experie

nce in sudden

cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death, including ~y service as the Medical
Director of the
American Heart Association Training Center at the University of California,
San Diego Center for
Resuscitation Science for the past three years. I am also an independent research
er on the effects of
•

TASER electronic control devices (ECDs) on humans, and am knowledgeable
of the state of
medical and scientific research on ECDs.

I have been retained as an expert in this lawsuit by John

Maley of the law firm of Barnes & Thornburg, to review relevant materials and
provide expert
opinion on the matter, including the state of the medical and scientific literatur
e as of the date of the
incident, March 20, 2008, and today, and to consider and render expert opinion
on the cause of
Darryl Turner 's death.

After careful review, it is my opinion to a reasonable degree of medical

certainty that it is not established in the medical and scientific literature, as of
May 20, 2008 or
today, that TASER ECDs applied to humans cause ventricular fibrilation. Further
more, it is my
opinion to a reasonable degree of medical certainty that Mr. Turner 's cardiac
arrest was not caused
by application of a TASER ECD.

These opinions and related opinions are set forth in this expert

report.

Analysis

After reviewing the above listed materials, it appears that on March 20, 2008, Darryl Turner
was in
an agitated state, was confrontational with store management at his place of employment
after being
confronted about shoplifting earlier and his general appearance upon return from lunch,
was
encountered by police and received two TASER® X:26™ Electronic Control Device (ECD)
activations (37 seconds and 5 seconds) and suffered a cardiac arrest. He was treated by
paramedics
and transported to the hospital, but ultimately died. Given this history, there are a number
of issues
that need to be addressed in more detail. All opin'ions given are to a reasonable, or higher,
degree of
medical or scientific certainty or probability based on the information currently available
.

TASER ECDs. There is a great deal of unwarranted concern of electrocution based on lay
misunderstanding of the reported 50,000 volts (V) peak open arcing voltage used by TASER
handheld ECDs. TASER handheld ECDs deliver only a fraction of the 50,000 V to the body.
In the
case of the TASER X26 ECD, the mean delivered pulse voltage is 580 V.

However, it is not th~ voltage, but the sustained current or amperage, or delivered electrica
l charge,
that actually creates a risk for electrical injury. For example, the static electricity from walking
.
across a carpet can generate 30,000 to I 00,000 V. However, the average and actual delivered
electrical current of the TASER X26 ECD is only about 1.9 milliamperes (mA) (or, 0.0019
amperes
(A)) and the peak current is only about 3 A. By way of comparison, a TASER M26™ ECD
has a
peak current of about 17 A; an International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Level IV
static
electricity shock has a peak current of30 A; a Christmas tree light string will have on average

•

current of0.4 A or 400 mA, which is about 200 times the average (or actual) delivered current
of
the TASER X26 ECD.

- 10-

Case 3:10-cv-00125-RJC-DCK Document 43-3 Filed 02/25/11 Page 11 of 72

The stored energy in the TASER X26 ECO is about 0.36 joules (J) per pulse
(J/pulse), and the
delivered energy is about 0.1 J/pulse, with the comparison of an automatic externa
l cardiac
defibrillator (AED) used by many times per day by paramedics using 360 J, over
3000 times greater
than the X26 ECD. Or, the American Heart Association (AHA) Pediatric Advanc
ed Life Support
(PALS) Guidelines that call for 2-9 joules per kilogram (J/kg) for infants and
children. Thus, for a 5
kg (11 pound) infant PALS states that 10-45 J have been found effective "with
negligible adverse
effeqts."

Or, if one thinks about it, this limited amount of delivered electrical energy able
to be transferred to
a person makes sense as the TASER X26 ECO is only powered by a battery of
two 3 V cells
(Duracell CR123s), commonly used in some smaU digital cameras, not an electric
al outlet or power
generator. It is the T ASER ECDs rapid cycling that can cause the subjects' muscles
to contract at
about 19 times a second that can offer the effective incapacitation of the subject
in probe mode, or
painful compliance in drive-stun mode, while still offering a significant safety
margin from
electrical injury.

Once the energy from an ECD is turned off, the subject is back to his physica
l baseline. Mr. Turner
.was reported by bystanders and the officer to have signs of being alive after the
initial TASER ECO
activation. He was reported to be breathing and sounded like he was crying.
Another witness said
he was stilJ conscious. The download data from the TASER ECO reflects that
he received a 37
second initial T ASER BCD activation followed a short time later by a 5 second
activation .

•

Case 3:10-cv-00125-RJC-DCK Document 43-3 Filed 02/25/11 Page 12 of 72

Though muscle activity from the TASER ECO has been shown to increase lactic acid levels
and
CPK levels over time, much like a basic seizure, the activity of a struggle and physical exertion
will
increase these levels to a much greater level than a TASER ECD. In my opinion, Mr. Turner
was
destined to die, whether or not the TASER ECO was used to subdue him, because if the
TASER
ECD was not used, there would have been a physical altercation, causing an even more
increased
physiologic load on Mr. Turner's heart with the same net result.

In addition, Mr. Turner had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy of his heart noted in the expert
report by
Dr. James Stone, a cardiovascular pathologist. This physical enlargement of the heart in
and of
itself can place an individual at increased risk for cardiac arrest and sudden death. Given
the
agitated state that Mr. Turner created when police were called because he refused to leave
the
premises, along with his enlarged heart, he was a ticking time bomb at risk to go into cardiac
arrest
-

whether the police used a TASER ECO or not. Mr. Turner was not following commands
and based
on the review of the video, appeared that if a T ASER ECO was not deployed, a physical
altercation
with police would have ensued. I base part of this on the fact that once the T ASER ECO
was
activated, most non-violent, non-aggressive people would have complied with police comman
ds so
that the painful stimuli would be turned off. Instead, Mr. Turner's aggressive nature (initially
throwing an umbrella and papers prior to the arrival of police) accelerated. He, while receiving
the
T ASER ECO activation, continued to walk away from the officer and grabbed a metal shopping
bag
rack and threw it. This was aggressive and agitated behavior.

Case 3:10-cv-00125-RJC-DCK Document 43-3 Filed 02/25/11 Page 13 of 72

This increased physical activity and exertion from the agitation can induce a cardiac dysrhyth
mia in
a person with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Once the heart goes into an irregular beat, blood
flow
through the body ceases and shortly thereafter, the subject will lose consciousness due to
lack of
blood flow to the brain and then stop breathing.

rt should also not be overlooked that Mr. Turner, 1;1pon returning from his lunch break was found
with marijuana in his possession and was noted to be have red eyes that was interpreted
by the
police officer at scene as consistent with drug use. The medical examine r's report did not
note any
illicit drugs in Mr. Turner's system, but the assay used by the medical examine r's office
did not test
for marijuana. Given the abnormal heart findings ofhyper trophic cardiomyopathy as noted
by Dr.
Stone, marijuana in and of itself has been reported to cause death in patients with cardiac
abnormalities, so if it was actually present it certainly did not help Mr. Turner's heart and

should be

considered in the cause of death.

Another question that arises is whether the TASER ECD, itself, can cause ventricular fibrillatio
n
(VF) in a human subject. TASER ECDs have been extensively researched. I have undertak
en
significant independent research on TASER ECDs, and am knowledgeable of peer-reviewed
medical and scientific research on T ASER ECDs conducted by others. In fact, I was the
lead author
on work requested by the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM).to review
the
totality of the peer reviewed published medical literature and come to conclusions regardin
g the
necessary emergency departm ent evaluation of patients being seen after receiving a ECD

activation.

As of March 20, 2008 and today, no peer-reviewed published scientific or medical literature
· concluded that T ASER ECDs cause ventricular fibrillation or cardiac dysrhythmias in humans.
•

Some studies under unique and unrealistic settings have been able to induce ventricular
fibrillation

- 13 -

Case 3:10-cv-00125-RJC-DCK Document 43-3 Filed 02/25/11 Page 14 of 72

or cardiac dysrhythmias in swine, but swine fibrillate more easily than humans, and those studies do
not conclude that ECDs cause ventricular fibrillation or dysrhythmias in humans. There is no X26
ECD human study that has found, or even shown, a single incident of cardiac capture or negative
cardiac effect. There is no animal study that has shown X26 ECD induction of cardiac arrest in
under 70 seconds of exposure. No animal study has shown an X26 ECD to directly cause cardiac
arrest without infusion of catecholamines.

As of March 20, 2008 and today, no peer-reviewed

published scientific or medical literature concluded that TASER ECDs kill humans, except for
secondary factors such as injuries from falls or the ignition of flammable fumes or fluids from the
ECO arc.

Moreover, more than 1.15 million volunteer subjects have undergone TASER ECO activations, and
none have ever been reported to develop VF or die. In the case of Mr. Turner, the distance between

the probes was measured as 3.5 inches apart by the medical examiner. This is not much father
apart than when the T ASER ECD is used in drive stun mode, with a distance of 1.6 inches. It is this
close distance between the probes that made Mr. Turner able to continue to walk and throw the rack
while the TASER ECD was being activated. In this mode, it was essentially acting as a drive stun,
basically a painful stimuli with no evidence of neuromuscular dissociation from more diffuse
electrical energy spread. The probes were too close together to incapacitate Mr. Turner. As noted
earlier, the T ASER ECO in probe mode has never been noted to cause VF or death. Sarne with the
drive stun mode. The T ASER ECO in in such close probe spread in Mr. Turner effectively operated
as a drive stun mode, and intuition and common sense would dictate that this would raise even less
ofa question of the TASE ECO being involved in Mr. Turner's death. Just because a TASER ECD

•

was being used in proximity to his death, does not imply causation .

- 14 -

Case 3:10-cv-00125-RJC-DCK Document 43-3 Filed 02/25/11 Page 15 of 72

Also, both ECD probes were in a perpendicular line on the right side of Mr. Turner's chest.
There
has not been a single reported incident of cardiac effect in the literature in animals or humans
where
the probes did not encompass the heart including at least one probe on the left side of the
chest.
Additionally, the ECD cartridge used on Mr. Turner was a 21-foot cartridge with serial number
T06-l03 4682 that has 9-miJlimeter (mm) probes. There is no report in the literature, animal
or
human, where an ECDwit h a 9 mm probe caused a cardiac effect. Furthermore, the medical
examiner reports that the two ECD probes penetrated Mr. Turner's right chest only to a distance

"I/8 th inch" (which is less than 4 mm). Again, there is nothing in the animal or human literature
that
has found that a probe depth of 4 mm has been shown to affect the heart.

Additionally, if Mr. Turner suffered an electrical injury from the TASER ECO inducing
VF, the
rapid response by EMS should have easily saved his life. There is significant medical literature
-

that has shown that patients suffering a primary VF arrest from electrocution or a heart attack
who
receive prompt EMS care including CPR for several minutes before defibrillation (as was
the case
with Mr. Turner), the heart basically, in lay terms, just needs to be reset from VF to a regular
rhythm using a defibrillator. The sooner this is done, the better the outcome. In my role
as an
emergency room physician and the Medical Director of the American Heart Association
Training
Center at the University of California, San Diego Center for Resuscitation Science, I have
substantial experience with this subject ofresusc itation and defibrillation. In this case, EMS
was
already en route as part of the police department's protocol to have EMS evaluation of all
TASER
ECD activations. Based on the video, EMS arrived about 5 minutes after Officer Dawson
arrived.
Therefore, EMS was at the patient within minutes of the cardiac arrest and if purely and
electrocution, should have been easily saved. Mr. Turner's underlying heart disease may
have left

Case 3:10-cv-00125-RJC-DCK Document 43-3 Filed 02/25/11 Page 16 of 72

him less able to be converted back to a regular rhythm by the defibrillation attempt
s than if his heart
was healthy.

Given his abnormal heart and that he became so agitated after being fired and
told to leave the
premises and then exhibiting such aggressive behavior, Mr. Turner, to a reasona
ble degree of
medical certainty, was going to have a sudden cardiac arrest, whether a TASER
BCD was used' or
not. If he had taken his anger elsewhere, started the same behavior there and
got into a

physical

altercation with others, there would likely have been the same sudden death outcom
e, except with
the absence of police and the TASER ECD.

Therefore, I agree with that portion of the Medical Examin er's report that states
that Mr. Turner
died as a result of an "acute ventricular arrhythmia" due to an "agitated state
and stress." I do not
-

agree that it is also due to the "use of conduced energy weapon (TASE R)," but
rather due to
underlying hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The medical examiner admitted that
he could not state to
a reasonable degree of medical certainty that the ECD contributed even .0 I%.
I do not agree with
Dr. Zipes methodology or opinions, including his reliance on non-peer-review
ed anecdotes that are
not substantially similar to Mr. Turner 's situation and that do not prove ECD
ventricular fibrillation in their own right nor in Mr. Turner' s situation.

causation of

And, the Nanthakumar

paper (J Am College of Cardio, 2007) relied upon by Dr. Zipes for the epineph
rine theory is not
appropriate because the catecholamine infusion in that swine was many times
that of what could be
caused by an ECD exposure.

In support of the impact of a TASER ECD device on markers of stress in humans
is work that was
performed by our group (Vilke, Acad Emerg Med 2009 Aug;l6(8):704-10.) compar
ing two

- 16-

Case 3:10-cv-00125-RJC-DCK Document 43-3 Filed 02/25/11 Page 17 of 72

experimental groups of self-control subjects who were exercised
to 85% of their maximal heart rate
and then received a TASE R ECO activation and then were tested
with exercise alone. In both
groups, the exercise alone elevated marker of stress without any
signif

icant elevations by the

TASE R ECO activation. And when comparing the marker of
stress from a previous study in which
a TASE R ECD was used without exercise {Vilke, Ann Emerg
Med 2007 Nov;50{5):569-75. Epub
2007 Aug 24), the stress marker was elevated multiple times in
the exercise group alone compared
with the TASE R ECO only group. Adding on to supportive data
about the much greater impact
that physical exertion and altercations have on human physiologic
stress markers is work by Ho, et
al (Ho J, A cad Emerg Med 20 IO Jul; l 7(7):e60-8) in which they
studied subjects who were assigned
to one of five task groups: 1) a 150-meter sprint and wall hurdle
(simulated flight from arrest); 2) 45
seconds of striking a heavy bag (simulated physical resistance);
3) a IO-second TASE R X26 ECO
exposure; 4) a fleeing and resistance exercise involving a law
enforcement dog {K-9); or
-

5) an

oleoresin capsicum (OC) exposure to the face and neck. They
measured serum catecholamines, pH
levels, and serum lactate and found that the simulations of physic
al resistance and fleeing on foot
led to the greatest changes in markers of acidosis and catecholamin
es.

Background

My background is that I am a full time faculty memb er in the
department of emergency medicine at
the University of California, San Diego Medical Center. I am
residency trained and board certified
in Emergency Medicine. I work full time as a practicing clinici
an in the Emergency Department of
a busy urban hospital. I also work for the medical center as the
Director of Custody Services for the
San Diego County Sherif f's Department Jail Medical Service
where I oversee direct patient care,

- 17 -

interface between the jail clinical staff and the hospital staff, and have been involve
d in the process
of utilization review.

As a physician working at both the jail and in the emergency department that
is contracted to care
for incarcerated patients, I have evaluated thousands of patients over the last ten

years who have

been arrested, received a T ASER ECD activation, and/or have had sudden cardiac
arrests. I have
performed extensive clinical research on subjects who have received TASER
ECD applications
(articles included in my curriculum vitae) which includes having being involve
d with over 200
TASER ECD activations and have personally received multiple applications of
the device. I have
also been invited to lecture nationally and internationally on the topic of T ASER
ECDs and their
physiological impacts on subjects. Given the frequency of use of this procedu
re by law enforcement
and my own research interests, I regularly perform a complete review of the literatur
e regarding
-

restraint use, TASER ECDs and sudden death in custody.

Appendix A is a copy of my current Curriculum Vitae, which includes a list of
all publications
authored by me over the previous ten years. Appendix B is a list of all cases
in which I have
testified as an expert in trial or depositiop within the preceding four years. I
have not referred to
any other specific sources beyond my own research and those listed in this report.
Appendix C
contains my and rate sheet. The knowledge base that I utilize has been develop
ed over time from
my years of clinical practice, reading and research, including specifically those
articles that I have
published myself in Appendix A .
