Forget 3 years, what about 35?!? And how were these people even convicted? Wouldn't a fair trial include some kind of expert testimony?

Once again, excessive criminalization and alienation to those living with HIV. We really have a long way to go. Appalling and tragic.

3 yrs is excessive even for a felon. We are back to the "witch burning" days because of the ignorance of how HIV is transmitted. I hope both cases appeal. This is nothing more than a technical "battery" charge which is not a felony. When will it stop??? Who or what will be targeted next?? Even God would be appalled at humankind's ignorant and intolerant behavior of those who of God's children are different!!! Shame on the Justice System!!!
