Lawyer Who Spat on Teen Protester Choosing Jail Over Probation

Stephanie Rapkin, a white lawyer, chose jail over probation after being convicted of disorderly conduct for spitting on a Black high school student during an anti-racism march.
The judge offered her leniency with probation and community service, but Rapkin refused and wants to go to jail.
Rapkin's career has been ruined, she has received death threats, and she has been labeled a racist, according to her attorney.
Rapkin blocked the march with her car, then spat on Eric Lucas, a 17-year-old student who helped organize the march.
Rapkin still faces a charge of assaulting the police officer who arrested her the next day; her trial will be in August.
