SAN JOSE — A Santa Clara County counselor has been found guilty of assault after he repeatedly punched a teen while breaking up a fight at juvenile hall last year, according to a jury verdict reached Wednesday.with assault under color of authority following an investigation into an April 14, 2021 encounter at the youth custody facility on Guadalupe Parkway in San Jose. The jury deliberated for one day before handing down its judgment.
“This person’s job was to protect these youths when, instead, he beat a youth in his care — our job was to prosecute him,” Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in a statement Thursday. “He should have done his job. We did ours.” Medellin then reportedly grabbed Gabriel and threw him to the ground, while the other two teens continued fighting. From there, prosecutors cited video surveillance footage in asserting that Medellin proceeded to punch Gabriel 11 times in the head and once in the body as the teen “was prone on the ground on his stomach and defensively covering his head with his arms.”
