Haltom City, 3 Ex-Inmates Sue Over Sexual Coercion

Three former Haltom City Jail inmates are suing the city and a former jailer (Clint Wade Weaver) who earlier pleaded guilty to coercing sex acts from prisoners. The suit alleges that Weaver humiliated the women, forcing them to undress and commit sex acts in exchange for early release from jail. The suit also alleges that the City failed to ensure proper oversight at the jail. The suit seeks unspecified damages for emotional distress for the incidents that happened in November 2000 and March 2001.

"My case was complicated. My opponents were very high profile individuals with the ability to hire the best attorneys to defend their egregious actions. Michael Pezzulli did not back down, and my verdict was very favorable. He is a strategist with amazing skills. Most of the time he had them beaten before they ever entered the courtroom!" J. Williamson

"Michael Pezzulli is as good as it gets. You'll be hard pressed to find a litigator with not just the know-how but the experience in the courtroom to back it up. Ethically, you can be assured he is one who upholds the Texas Lawyer's Creed. And as a mediator who has mediated for Mr. Pezzulli, I know that he comes prepared, prepares the mediator, and most importantly, prepares his client." Barry Wernick

"My husband and I have known Michael Pezzulli for over 40 years. When representing us we have found him to be very thorough, decisive and, to our benefit, quite intimidating to the opposing attorney when necessary. He has an uncanny way of communicating to members of the jury and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal representation." Jan Richey
