For biting to be a felony, attacker must have HIV

The Ohio Court of Appeals vacated the conviction of Constance Reif-Hill, who resisted routine blood testing on admission to a psychiatric hospital. The blood test was required to determine her alcohol and medication levels. Reif-Hill became highly agitated, telling staff that she had AIDS. She then bit one employee, puncturing his skin. She later consented to an HIV test, and both she and the victim tested negative. She was charged with attempted felonious assault, and a jury found her guilty. The Court of Appeals reversed the conviction, saying she needed to knowingly attempt to transmit the virus to be convicted, and this was not possible since she tested negative.
