In memory of our brother and son, Robert Bagnell, who died moments after being tasered by police in Vancouver, British Columbia on June 23, 2004. Bob was the 7th Canadian to die and the 110th in North America.

At the 2005 Arizona Press Club Awards, Mr. Anglen won first place in the Investigative reporting category. He was the recipient of the Don Bolles Award for his report entitled "Taser tied to 'independent' study that backs stun gun'. “As part of an extraordinarily thorough investigation of Taser International, Anglen uncovered ‘smoking gun’ documents that showed the manufacturer was heavily involved in the key study that purported the devices are safe. Anglen also uncovered conflicts of interest and documented wide-spread problems with Taser safety — a matter of national and international public interest.”
In 2006, Mr. Anglen was a runner up for the Arizona Press Club's Virg Hill Journalist of the Year award. Peter Bhatia of The Oregonian wrote “Robert Anglen is an investigative reporter, pure and simple. Clearly, he is a reporter who, once he sinks his teeth into something, stays with it until the story is done. His ongoing work around the company that makes Tasers speaks to that."

In the case of Garrett Farn, I read the preliminary autopsy findings do not indicate that trauma, including the use of an electronic control device, contributed in any significant way to his death.
I find this might be a little bias considering the Kern County Sheriff, Donny Youngblood is ALSO the County Coroner
I mean how can the coroner/sheriff conduct an autopsy on someone who died at the hands of their deputies and not protect them?
We are all familiar with stories about cops protecting their own.
I do not know any of the people involved in this story, I just find it a little odd that the county coroner is also the newly elected sheriff.
HMMM!
Yes, that is odd - it's almost incestuous, all of it.
