It should have been done for rape, not for spitting.
Absolutely.
Unless you think that the ends always justify the means?
It's tough to call this justice. He basically got busted on a technicality. I consider resisting arrest a serious matter, but it would seem that if he resisted arrest without using his spit and teeth he would have gotten off with a much lighter sentence. That said, if I were on a jury, we had a repeat offender law affecting sentencing, and the group of offenses looked like this guy's rap sheet apparently does, I'd reccomend the maximum sentence too.
That's kind of a case of getting punished twice for the same crime, but it's also kind of a case of "Enough is enough."
