CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Prosecutors plan to show jurors graphic videos today of forced late-night fights among developmentally disabled residents of a Texas state facility, as the first trial of a former employee gets underway.
Jesse Salazar, 25, who worked at the Corpus Christi State School, was charged with injury to a disabled person after being spotted along with other staff members in some of the almost 20 videos of forced bouts that police called a “fight club.”
The videos showed that residents were forced to fight one another for the staff’s entertainment. Residents locked one another in choke holds, tumbled to the floor and were kicked and prodded by school employees.
