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. ++++++++++++++ Hey...Imagine what they might do to a guy who wore a purple G-Sting! Stephen Title: Re: Man gets life in prison for spitting...
