Man found guilty of spitting at police gets 70 years in prison

Next.
What do you have to do to get sentenced to 70 years in prison?
Did spitting on someone come to mind?
That is the situation for a man from Texas who was arrested for domestic violence.
The man was clearly unhappy that he was being detained rather than the victim once he was in the police car.
He was kicking the officer’s car and shouting. When they opened the door to tell him to stop, he spat on them. And continued spitting once at the detention center.
During his sentencing, the prosecutor urged the jury to choose a sentence that would “send a message” to this man and society.
Also claiming that he had a history of violent family behavior and serious robbery charges.
That might have influenced the jury’s decision who came back with a sentence of 70 years for harassing a public servant and spitting at police officers.
The prosecutor also said, that the sentence would not have been as substantial for someone with no criminal history.

“But I think the reason for that enhancement being the law is if you’re going to choose to live a life of crime and to be a criminal, you can do that around other criminals in prison and not in a free society with law-abiding people,”

He might never spit again after that sentence. Ouch,
