Denmark Supreme Court rules spitting in face an act of violence
The Danish Supreme Court upheld a 20 day jail term for a man who spat in a baker shop employee's face two years ago. The court said such an act must be considered an attack on a body part, resolving a dispute between lower courts about whether it was violence or a violent insult. The unnamed 26 year old will serve his sentence for the October 2004 incident.
