‘OK, I’m dead’: Two Georgia sheriffs taser handcuffed man to death in shocking video

A new video has surfaced online showing two Georgia sheriff’s deputies, Samuel Smith and Joshua Sepanski, tasering a handcuffed man to death. The victim’s family said the two officers have faced no punishment and are still working at their department.

The footage came from the body camera of one of the two Coweta County deputies who violently subdued Chase Sherman, a 32-year-old Florida man, as he was sitting in the back of a police car, leading to his death in November of 2015. 

After realizing Sherman was dead, both Smith and Sepanski reacted frantically, as one of them is heard saying, “we’re f**ked.”
