EXPLAINED: Aboriginal teen a low threat when shot | Rare Historical Photos

The Taser on the belt of a Northern Territory policeman on trial for murdering an Aboriginal teenager during an outback arrest attempt was flat, a jury has heard.

Constable Zachary Rolfe, 30, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Kumanjayi Walker, 19, after the teen stabbed him with a pair of scissors on November 9, 2019.

Rolfe fired three shots into Mr Walker's back and torso as he resisted arrest at his grandmother's home in Yuendumu, 290km northwest of Alice Springs.
