Excoriating prosecutors for deliberately withholding evidence, a court of appeals has ordered a new trial for Michael Johnson, better known as Tiger Mandingo, who was convicted last year for "recklessly" infecting a person with HIV and exposing or attempting to expose four others to the virus.The Eastern District Court of Appeals of Missouri ruled on Tuesday that the prosecution rendered Johnson's trial "fundamentally unfair" when it withheld, until the last minute, recordings of phone conversations Johnson had made from prison.Johnson is currently serving a 30.5 year sentence and is one of the most highly publicized targets of America's controversial HIV laws, which make it a crime for HIV-positive people to have sex without first disclosing that they have the virus.
