"The coroner, Dr. Roland Kohr, called the Taser shock partly responsible 
for Borden's death."

"The Taser is not involved and has not caused a death," says Taser CEO Rick 
Smith."

"It's not often that a camera records a man's death, but, as CBS News 
Correspondent Wyatt Andrews reports, that's what's happened in an Indiana 
jail."

"As 47-year-old James Borden hits the ground, officer David Shaw is 
shocking him with a 50,000-volt Taser stun gun."

"According to medical records, Shaw used the Taser at least six times 
before Borden died."
