Michael Gaines, 50, didn’t heed that advice while facing Judge Rebecca Pilshaw today. Gaines, who is HIV-positive, was convicted last month by a jury of spitting in a deputy’s eye while in the county jail.

Prosecutor Kevin O’Connor had recommended 10 years, a hefty sentence, but not the max. Gaines lost his temper and swore at the judge, prompting Sedgwick County Sheriff’s deputies to remove him from the courtroom. Gaines continued to yell at O’Connor, calling him “a maggot who was stillborn at birth.”

Pilshaw borrowed Judge Eric Yost’s courtroom, where he does first appearances from the jail via closed-circuit television. Pilshaw concluded the sentencing via video, giving Gaines the maximum of 164 months (more than 13 years).

O’Connor’s argument had been that Gaines couldn’t control his temper.

Also, Judge Pilshaw blogged about her account of the sentencing.

A jury of seven women and five men convicted Michael Gaines on two counts of battery against a law enforcement officer.

One former deputy involved in the incident testified Gaines’ spit hit him in the eye. The former deputy said he had to undergo treatments of antiviral drugs and six months of HIV testing to guard against the communicable and potentially deadly disease.

Gaines, 50, who initially had been in jail on robbery charges, faces sentencing on this conviction at 1:30 p.m. July 17 before Judge Rebecca Pilshaw.
