he s handcuffed and thrashing. at 5:03 a.m., two police officers tase him simultaneously. while on the ground, lambert tells the officers that he s used drugs. i just did cocaine, man. i just did cocaine. reporter: in total, three officers fired tasers at lambert. it shows the three officers used their tasers 21 times over the next 16 minutes. his attorney claims, in total, lambert received 79 seconds of electric shock. but tasers don t always make a fuel connection and cnn cannot independently confirm how much shock lambert actually received. at 5:19, police drive lambert to the county jail. at 5:28 a.m., police begin cpr but it s too late.
the south boston police force. can i tell you for example, the commission with virginia state police investigated this for five months and gave you its findings. i mean, this doesn t seem like at it s base the most complicated case that should take more than two years. well, i do believe that it is a complex matter. i appreciate your concerns. telling you why it has taken as long as it is is something that i m happy to talk about at the conclusion of the case but doing so now would necessarily reveal aspects of the investigation that are simply improper to talk about right now. reporter: we went to the south boston police station to ask about the three officers still working. hello there, i m gary tuchman with cnn. i wanted to see if we could talk to the chief about the lambert case. we were told the chief did not want to make any comments to us.
