Case against officers charged over tasering of vulnerable First Nations man permanently stayed

A Queensland court has permanently stayed the case against two senior constables — Andrew David Couchman, 54, and Ulrich Weiss, 45 — charged over the use of capsicum spray, Tasers and restraints on a "cognitively and emotionally vulnerable" First Nations man in custody at the Mareeba watch house in January 2024. The court cited "defects" in the subsequent investigation as the reason for its decision.
