Data on a Taser used on ex-Ipswich Town star Dalian Atkinson revealed it was activated for more than 80 seconds, a jury has been told.
Atkinson, who started his career at Portman Road in 1985, died on August 15, 2016 after being Tasered outside his father s home in Telford, Shropshire.
West Mercia police constable Benjamin Monk is alleged to have intended to cause really serious injury to Atkinson, who also played for Sheffield Wednesday, Aston Villa and the England B team.
Monk s then-colleague, PC Mary Ellen Bettley-Smith, 31, is also facing trial after denying a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
