A new report on a high-profile jail injury case in Santa Clara County details how deputies and medical staff left a mentally ill man paralyzed in his cell for more than 24 hours, then lied about the care they gave him to cover up their neglect — all of which led to a $7 million county payout.

The report on the treatment of Juan Martin Nuñez in a Main Jail psychiatric unit, submitted to the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, coincided with a unanimous board vote to require the county to publicly report large legal settlements on a quarterly basis.
