A police officer who killed ex footballer Dalian Atkinson had previously been found guilty of gross misconduct, a court has heard.
Last week, Benjamin Monk, 43, was convicted of manslaughter over the death in Telford in 2016.
The trial heard Monk had tasered Mr Atkinson six times longer than standard procedure and kicked him in the head.
Due to be sentenced on Monday, Judge Melbourne Inman QC said he needed more time to consider evidence.
Birmingham Crown Court heard Monk was given a final written warning for 18 months in 2011 after being found guilty of gross misconduct during a West Mercia Police disciplinary hearing.
