Once Felicha Marin was caught by police for her shoplifting scheme, she went on to assault the police officers in a rather unusual, unheard of way. Felicha Marin promptly took out her right breast, took aim, and shot breast milk from her right breast at a police officer. Marin was then detained by police and brought down to jail. Marin is being held accountable for shoplifting, and an assault charge for the breast milk incident.
What kind of world are we truly living in these days? A woman, already in trouble for stealing a mere pair of shoes, decides to resist by taking out her right breast and shooting out breast milk? As disturbing as this incident is, it is also somewhat saddening to know there are such people out there committing such degrading and horrifying acts, especially against law enforcement personnel.
How exactly does this resistant act fall under assault? Assault is defined as "a violent physical or verbal act" (Merriam-Webster), among many other definitions as well. Since the breast milk was originally a part of Felicha Marin's body, I am presuming that since it was once part of her body, and was expelled from her body, it falls under the category of assault since it was in fact a violent physical act. Also, under the circumstances that it was expelled onto a public law enforcement agent, the law is harshly applied to the verdict as well since law enforcement personnel are there to serve and protect.
What does the court case have in store for us? I am assuming that Felicha Marin's lawyer will go for a defense where they say Marin's emotional state was unbalanced due to pregnancy. Marin, having contained breast milk in her breasts, is most likely pregnant, which causes many emotional problems correlated with unbalanced hormones. Will Marin get off the hook? I am unsure myself, but I am sure she will be granted some sort of leeway due to her current emotional state due to internal conflict within her body.
Although Marin was, and still is in an unbalanced emotional state, the act was committed. Marin should still be punished within guidelines of the criminal justice field. One thing I do know for sure-- this is by far one of the most bizarre cases I have ever seen.

Post a Commentif she shoots breast milk at me, I'd open my mouth and try to catch as much of the stuff as I can.
Legally, the reason it falls under assault is because the breast milk is considered a bio-hazard. In the same category as someone else mentioned, urine or spitting.
Mara sucks LOL
wg owns ty
even spitting or non-consensual touch can be assault.
i would say unless the officer wanted to be sprayed, it is clearly assault.
same thing if she spitted or urinated on him.
pretty simple.
While I agree what she did was rude, I don't think it's assault. Breastmilk rarely contains the materials needed to infect someone with an illness, unlike saliva which does pass on disease. No harm was done to the officer; it's a lot less dangerous to squirt milk than spit at someone. And the chance of harm being done was minimal, and that's an overstatement. He may have been a lil disgusted and humiliated, and yes this woman was completely freaking nuts...but that's about it!
I'll give her an "A" for creativity. At least she didn't take a knife or a big rock to his head. And on the whole HIV front - women who are HIV positive are thoroughly warned against breastfeeding their babies. There is a chance of passing it on, but not through casual contact with breastmilk. It is more likely that it would be passed because of a cracked nipple, etc, after continuous nursing. Other than that, my kids know from personal experience that a "stray spray" will not do any permanent damage to the face or eyes. My boobs were overachievers!
I think a trip to the mental institution would do her a lot better than jail time. Jail would possible screw her up more...
That woman definitely needs mental help. Simply putting her in jail wouldn't accomplish anything positive for her or her baby. It does seem bizarre and almost laughable, but it's really very sad.
I think the woman needs counseling!
This lady was clearly an idiot because she's going to end up in jail, and her poor baby isn't going to be able to nurse. She should at least be provided with a breast pump, so she doesn't have to wean prematurely.
