LA man on trial for staging fights among elder patients
The details: Cesar Ulloa, 21, of Reseda in Southern California, is charged with seven counts of elder abuse and one count of torture. He faces life in prison if convicted. He is accused of abusing patients at the pricey Silverado Senior Living retirement home in Calabasas, where witnesses say he jumped on a 78-year-old woman’s chest and body-slammed her, and encouraged wheelchair-confined residents to fight. Ulloa’s attorney, Daniel Teola, denied that his client ever abused residents, saying other workers spread false rumors because they envied Ulloa.
