Краткое изложение - в штате Оклахома некоего перца приговорили к пожизненному заключению за то, что он плюнул в мента - причём не за оскорбление офицера полиции, а за то, что он таким образом потенциально мог "заразить государственного служащего вирусом смертельного заболевания". __________ OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) -- An Oklahoma man arrested on suspicion of beating his wife faced year in prison and a fine. But when he spit in an arresting officer's face, he got a life sentence instead, officials said Wednesday. John Carl Marquez, 36, was convicted of "placing bodily fluid upon a government employee," a felony that can carry a life sentence because of the possibility of transmitting a potentially deadly disease. State judge April Sellers White sentenced Marquez this week even though Marquez and the officer tested negative for any communicable disease. Marquez also was convicted of assaulting a police officer, and a jury recommended the maximum sentence because he had previous convictions. Marquez, arrested several months ago, could have received one year in prison and a $3,000 fine for wife beating, according to the Creek County court clerk's office. His lawyers said they plan to appeal. |
