Covid Death after being spat at by someone 16:37 - May 12 with 2618 viewsMullet

This story is horrible. Legally I assume the case can be made, but in all likelihood the person involved is likely to walk here aren't they? Assuming they even get them judging by the story.

'Kin horrible thing to do, but that the person said they had the virus doesn't mean they really did. They'd have to find them and test them and somehow prove that they had it at the time of the incident. Not going to happen.

Guess it's difficult to prove (to a criminal standard) the link between the assault and the poor guy actually catching CV19. So yeah, likely they walk for manslaughter but assault could surely be pursued if they catch him.

I guess some would argue they deserve the sentence for saying/doing it in combination but that wouldn't pass the test would it frankly?

As with the American fella licking groceries in a shop, I'm at a loss as to what makes people do this stuff.

…..(which doesn't narrow it down much) film himself licking the rim of a public bog and then go down with various "lurgies", all for the sake of some Instagram likes?

Maybe I made it up.

Dunno. Sounds like our internet histories are markedly different.

Yeah there were a few gimps doing the 'coronavirus challenge' of licking toilets and other things. Needless to say it had the obvious outcome.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

Think it is around 3 months for spitting and saying you have Covid-19 but that is all that is likely here. Quite a few similar sentences around the country

As others said, I don’t think they’ll be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt the death linked to him

Should happen though. It should certainly be investigated.

Unlikely to find the guy unfortunately. He deserves to go away for life though, an 11 year old has lost her mum because of some tw@t doing something like that.

It would have been almost impossible to prosecute.

I'm surprised. If this was a claimed deliberate infection from other diseases (I think HIV has been used as an example precedent) then they would at least investigate further. From the statement it doesn't seem that they've looked into it enough to establish the facts; it just seems to be dropped, although it's not that clear.

But either way it would be at least assault you would think.

So what then, the footage wasn't clear enough to determine that at all or does spitting at someone not count as assault?

Filthy ***t.

If they arrested him at the time, they could have established if he has Covid. As they didn't, would be almost impossible to discover weather he was just being a d1ck or indeed had passed it on to her. They should at least investigate and find something to pin on him. Incredibly vile thing to do either way.

Agree with both of those replies. I don't know the details, but it feels like this has been dismissed.
