Another HIVer has been sent on a vacation to the slammer for *not*
passing on HIV, and there wasn't even any *** involved.
HIVer Willie Campbell was handed a 35 year prison sentence after being
convicted of spitting at a police officer. Prudent jurors came to the
conclusion that Campbell's 'HIV' antibody positive saliva was a
"deadly weapon."

An HIV-positive man with a history of spitting at police officers and
biting fellow jail inmates was sentenced to 35 years in prison
Wednesday.
Willie Campbell's sentence came one day after the same Dallas County
jury convicted the 42-year-old of harassment of a public servant for
spitting into the eye and open mouth of Dallas Officer Dan Waller in
May 2006.

Because the jury found that Mr. Campbell's HIV-positive saliva was a
deadly weapon, he has to serve half of his sentence before he is
eligible for parole.

I wonder if Campbell is black?
