Five plead not guilty to ‘fight club’ charges
May 19th, 2009From the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, Associated Press:
Five former employees of the Corpus Christi State School have pleaded not guilty to felony charges stemming from cellphone videos of fights staged between intellectually disabled residents of the Texas institution.
Each of the five men was charged with causing injury to a disabled person. A sixth defendant, Stephanie Garza, is accused of failing to intervene. She will be arraigned later this month. Only one of the six remains in jail.
Police say eleven employees organized the fights, which took place over the past two years.
