Guilty plea in Texas fight club case

July 6th, 2009

From the Abilene [TX] Reporter-News:

Defendant D’Angelo Riley pleaded guilty to three counts of injury to a disabled person Monday in connection with an alleged fight club operating inside Texas’ Corpus Christi institution for people with disabilities.

For each count, Riley pleaded guilty to causing one state school resident to strike another. The incidents all occurred in 2008.

State District Judge Sandra Watts was hearing arguments Monday on a motion filed for defendant Timothy Dixon, who allegedly recorded the fights on a phone that was turned over to police. His attorney, Ira Miller, contends the phone was stolen and police should have obtained a search warrant before examining the videos.

    Watch this case, I bet the staff all do less time than someone in the same county that was caught with marijuana for personal use. Sadistic torture of others is no big deal but minding your own business is a crime if small, dimwitted minds don’t like what you do.
