Jury selection delayed in fighting case

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) - Jury selection has been delayed until Monday afternoon in the case of three former Corpus Christi State School employees.

The former workers at the state center for mentally disabled Texans are accused of organizing fights among their wards for the staff's entertainment.

State District Judge Sandra Watts is hearing arguments in Corpus Christi, Texas on a motion filed for Timothy Dixon. He allegedly video-recorded the fights on a cell phone that was turned over to police.

Dixon's attorney, Ira Miller, contends the phone was stolen and police should have obtained a search warrant before examining the videos.

Watts also approved immunity for former State School employee Stephanie Garza to testify for the prosecution. Prosecutors have gotten a stay of a lesser charge she faced for not stopping the fight.
