Man found guilty of serial HIV assaults

Defense lawyer Charles Lane said Whitfield was addicted to methamphetamine and used women for shelter, money and sex but never meant to inflict "great bodily harm" as required for him to be convicted of first-degree assault.

Not making any excuses for his sorry a$$, but this right there tells me a lot. Having two cousins who did this, I can tell you that most times the women were users, too--that is how they hook up in the first place. And when they are on that high, protected sex is the last thing on anyone's mind. That could explain the ones that don't want to be tested or found. Plus then the question becomes did that contract it from him and were they already infected?
