Virgina’s State Supreme Court has let stand a ruling that spit wads are “weapons” and using them is “criminal.”
The argument came in the case of Andrew Mikel II, who was a freshman last school year and an honor student, when he was kicked out of Spotsylvania High School based on a claim by school officials that the “spit wad” was “violent criminal conduct.”
