CORPUS CHRISTI (August 14, 2009)--A Texas man convicted of instigating fights between the developmentally disabled residents of a Texas state school was sentenced to three years in prison Friday.
A Nueces County jury spared Jesse Salazar the maximum punishment for his role in what police called a "fight club" at the Corpus Christi State School.
Salazar, 25, faced as much as 10 years in prison after he was convicted of intentionally causing injury to a disabled person.
Salazar and five other former workers at the facility were charged with staging fights among residents, who are some of the most physically and mentally vulnerable in Texas.
Salazar is the first sent to prison in the abuse scandal.
