CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS– [Excerpt] A former Texas State School employee was found guilty today of injuring mentally disabled residents in a case that has gained notoriety for its “fight club” videos – in which workers at a Corpus Christi, Texas state school allegedly forced residents to fight one another while the employees taped the incidents on their cell phones.

Jesse Salazar, 25, was convicted of intentionally causing injury to a disabled person and faces up to 10 years behind bars.

The jury deliberated for less than two hours before coming back with a verdict.

Six former employees – who were since fired – have been charged in the case.
