Man sentenced to 70 years imprisonment for spitting at police officers

Manuel santibenez gathered that a Texas man in the U.S. has been  allegedly sentenced to 70 years in prison for reportedly  spitting at policemen at Lubbock police officers during an arrest last May.

According to New York Post reports that the 36-year-old Larry Pearson was picked up by policemen on domestic violence charges after he allegedly hit a woman countless in the face.

 

The report also revealed that Pearson left his victim with “multiple visible injuries.” Larry allegedly got angry when officers didn’t arrest the victim and started kicking the door of the police cruiser.

 

When two cops opened the door to demand he stops, Pearson spat at them and kept doing so even after he got to the Lubbock County Detention Center, the New York Post said.

 

During the trial’s closing arguments, prosecutor Jessica Gorman asked the jury to “send a message” to both the suspect and society with its sentencing.

Larry had prior convictions for aggravated robbery and family violence, Gorman said. As a result, he faced a minimum sentence of 25 years.

 

If you’re going to live the life of crime, you’re going to do that among other criminals (in prison),” Gorman told the court.

 

Jim Shaw, Pearson’s defense attorney, told jurors that the sentencing was for a “simple misdemeanor” that got out of control.

 

You’re not going to get 70 years for something like this when you’ve never been in trouble before,” Gorman said.
