KHOU 11 Investigates: New jail videos raise fresh questions about injuries that left inmate in coma

"So (the coma) did not happen by the fall off the bunk," Kallinen said. "That was just a red herring."

The civil rights attorney obtained other jail videos through a federal lawsuit that revealed three separate use-of-force incidents after Garica was treated at the clinic. On Nov. 25, 2022, around 8:27 p.m., Garcia is seen in a corner of a holding cell as a group of detention officers approach the inmate. They surround him and then take him to the ground on his stomach when one officer punches Garcia five times in the head. Five minutes later, another video captures a use of force in the elevator -- detention officers slamming Garica into the elevator wall while the inmate was handcuffed.
