From the article:

“Texas law describes “abuse of a corpse” as any instance in which someone “disinters, disturbs, damages, dissects, in whole or in part, carries away, or treats in an offensive manner a human corpse.”...Texas lawmakers upgraded the crime from a Class A misdemeanor to a state jail felony, which is punishable by six months to two years in a state jail and a fine of up to $10,000.”

I don't care...jury nullification. There are more than a few laws on the books whose basic legitimacy I reject.This is one of them.

So *I* vote "not guilty" if I'm on the jury.

Forgot to mention....there are some acts involving the treatment of a corpse which,I believe,*do* deserve serious punishment. More than a few acts,in fact. I won't give examples...all I'll say that watching The Crime Channel as much as I do I see many examples that qualify as "serious" in my mind.

But spitting ain't one of them.

A much worse penalty than spitting on a live person.
