He was sentenced for a crime that he may, or may not have committed. But, he did spit into a police officer's face. He deserves some form of punishment for not respecting the law. 35 years seems kinda harsh, until you realize that the police officer must live with the fear of possibly having HIV/AIDS. he will live with that fear for a long time.
If I was the police officer, he wouldn't have made it to the station in a conscious state.

It's a good thing you're not a police officer, then, because last time I checked they're supposed to enforce the law, not abuse it.

The last time I checked, citizens are supposed to respect the police officers too. So here we have two people checking on what others are supposed to and not supposed to do. Had the idiot not been too drunk, there would not have been a problem. He caused his own grief.
your arguemtns arent valid. the law and the courts dont concern themselfs with what may or may not happen. they are supposedly only be concerned with solid facts. that hey may get HIV from spit is irrelevant. and he couldnt, zero chance. That is relevant. the spitter may or may not have wanted to infect him, its unprovable. so its irrelevant. the officer didnt get HIV and thats relevant but anymore in the united states, people are getting sent to prison for stupid reasons on the whims of officers based on opinion, not facts. Our nation is becoming a police state.
Did I state that I was referring to any portion of law? I was mentioning the real world scenario that this police officer now has to live with the fear of having been given HIV/AIDS from an ignorant drunk. The officer was doing his job, the drunk was ignorant. Justice was served.
The police officer only need to get a second, third, fourth, fifth..... medical opinion to satisfy his fears.
