A police officer who tasered a 95-year-old aged care resident last year faces up to 25 years in prison after being found guilty of manslaughter through criminal negligence.

A 12-person jury delivered a unanimous guilty verdict at the Supreme Court of NSW on Wednesday, following a cumulative 20 hours of deliberations.
