A Houston civil rights attorney told ABC13 about what he called a rare occurrence regarding accountability for incidents behind bars. The charges come two years after 13 Investigates first broke the story.
Alex BozarjianIn a significant development two years after ABC13 broke the story, three Harris County Jail employees have been charged in an inmate's beating.Charges were filed in a case involving a Harris County Jail inmate who was hospitalized with severe injuries two years ago.
Kallinen said no one is expecting the royal treatment, but those taken into custody shouldn't fear injury or death."A big chunk of his skull was broken into so many pieces they couldn't even let it heal. They had to take it out, and then eight months later, they replaced it with a big piece of plastic," Kallinen said.
The next night, the sheriff's office reported he fell from the top bunk bed in his cell block and suffered facial injuries.Then, on Nov. 25, 2022, the sheriff's office said he got into a fight with a detention officer outside the medical clinic, fell to the ground, and hit his head."They have given no narrative," Kallinen said.However, a grand jury decided to indict Jimmy Poole, Ezihou Osiminbeke, and John Ziesmer for their part in the assault.
