ORIGINAL: Greta75 FR So this is a real life case as to why these people do not deserve their sentence lowered! And this law in California will have reduce this guy's 8 years to only 6 months. And it sounds like, he was doing the spreading intentionally. He is exactly the kind of person you wanna lock up forever, so he doesn't give the gay community a bad name! HIV hairdresser Darryll Rowe 'boasted of ripped condom' A hairdresser accused of deliberately infecting his lovers with HIV said "I got you" to one of them, a court heard. Darryll Rowe, 26, denies infecting four men from the Brighton area with the virus and attempting to give it to a further six. Lewes Crown Court heard he bombarded his second victim with texts and calls after the pair had sex. During one call, jurors heard, Mr Rowe said: "I ripped the condom. Burn. I got you." I hope you realize I'm not going to try to defend this sleezeball. Each offense is a separate crime, so hopefully that means consecutive sentences for each one. You know, it's not true that, they are changing the severity of this crime because of prison overcrowding. The reason why they are reducing it is, according to the article i post on the OP: both Democrats, argued California law was outdated and stigmatized people living with HIV, And essentially, the dems are saying that, prosecuting people like this Brit asshole with a heavy sentence who is intentionally spreading HIV through Grindr will stigmatize ALL HIV sufferers. Nothing about Prison Overcrowding. That is what is stupid about this decision. The rationale and logic of this decision does not even make sense. Because these Dem politicians, like some of you guys here who are more left leaning, interpretes "knowingly" as the same word as "unknowingly". There is no innocent being prosecuted in this law. It is meant to punish HIV sufferers like the Brit Hairdresser who knowingly and intentionally went out to spread his HIV. And now, let me take a moment to explain what Grindr is. It's a gay 'dating' app, which shows you other guys near your position. It's mostly used to find somebody to have random sex with, although some use it to find friends when they move to a new area, or just to expand their social network, or for workout buddies, and even relationships, but that's not as common, and a lot of them are often in the mood tonight anyway. And like anywhere else on the internet, there are fakes and prostitutes. And I'm speaking from experience, so no judgment here. The law as it was did add a stigma to those infected with HIV, and was almost certainly disproportionately effecting gay men with HIV as well, over other classes. Now add that it increased the number of people in prison living with HIV, which increases the financial burden of the prisons, which are required to take care of medical needs, as well as increasing the risk of HIV exposure to the prison population. California is kinda weird when it comes to sex in prison; it's illegal (outside of conjugal visits), yet they require condoms to be made available for inmates. And fights can get bloody. If a person enters prison HIV negative, and gets released infected, it seems possible for that inmate to file a lawsuit. If for nothing else than "cruel and unusual punishment". No idea if it's been attempted, or how far it went, much less any verdicts, and I don't feel like dealing with Google to look.
