cell unconscious. Sanchez regained consciousness outside
the cell, still handcuffed and lying on his stomach. Now
outside the cell, deputies kicked Sanchez in the face and tased
him repeatedly. They pulled down his pants and “tasered me
on my butt.” At the hospital afterwards, doctors put
permanent metal pins in Sanchez’s broken ankle. Sanchez
was in a wheelchair for three to four months, and was not
able to walk without crutches or a walker for eight or nine
months. At the time of trial four years later, Sanchez still
walked with a limp. Sanchez had received a large “gash”
above his right eye. The gash had healed by the time of trial,
but it was “always tingling.” Sanchez’s right eye was
swollen shut for two weeks. At the time of trial, vision in that
eye was blurred.
