Saliva as a weapon nets 35 years
DALLAS (AP) An HIV-positive man convicted of spitting into the eye and mouth of a Dallas police officer has been sentenced to 35 years in prison.
Because a jury found that Willie Campbell used his saliva as a deadly weapon, the 42-year-old will have to serve half his sentence before becoming eligible for parole. He was sentenced Wednesday.
Campbell was being arrested in May 2006 for public intoxication when he began resisting and kicking inside the patrol car, Dallas police office Dan Waller testified.
Campbell was convicted of harassment of a public servant.

Apparently, he had a prior conviction where he pled out to 5 attempted murders (with something other than saliva) and did 13 years . My guess is that had a lot to do with things here.

But the amount of the virus present in saliva is generally not enough to transmit the virus, so I don't see how it was a deadly weapon. I mean it's gross when anyone spits, but with the lysozymes present in saliva...

thus the 'knowingly tried to pass' part.

He spit in a cops face... smart people don't do that. I don't think society is missing out on much by having this loser behind bars.

I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that he needs to be punished, but 35 years does seem a bit excessive.
But, as Kevin stated, he had priors, so that might explain why he received such a long sentence.

So he can sue the police department? I would love to see the cop Rodney King his ass for 5 minutes or so because he deserves it... just like Rodney King deserved it.

Good.
I remember reading an article a few years ago about 'sliming'. Inmates would mix blood, spit, snot, urine, and uh...other bodily fluids and then sling it at guards in hopes of infecting them with various diseases.
Even if it was not possible to infect them, the inmates didn't know that. They did so in the hopes of causing them harm with a possible fatal disease.

Cops have no business in vigilante or street justice.

Absolutely disgusting.
I remember watching Lock Up where inmates in the "medical ward" would assault guards with urine and feces when the guards entered the cell.

That's what I was thinking. Hooray for all of those years of Drug Ed!
Still, spitting on someone is freakin' nasty!
