abstract="Robert Ainis was sentenced by the New Jersey Superior Court to 11 years in prison for robbing a convenience store and brandishing a hypodermic needle while threatening to inject the clerk with AIDS. The New Jersey Superior Court ruled that using the needle in that manner, combined with the threat to deliberately infect a person, constituted a &quot;violent crime.&quot; The &quot;violent crime&quot; charge mandates that Ainis serve 85 percent of the sentence. Arguments from both sides are presented. Courts in New York and California have recently issued similar rulings.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
