sure terroristic threats is a crime

that’s been around for a while it’s now

called threats of violence but it’s the

same thing and what it really means is

is if a person threatens someone of

serious bodily harm or death like I’m

going to kill you that’s terroristic

threats there doesn’t need to be any uh

overt action just the mere saying that

phrase is is what’s called teror threats

are threats of violence one of the

defenses that I have used in these cases

in the past successfully where the the

charges were dropped was that the

defendant uh said these threats uh out

of transitory anger transitory anger is

a legal term that means that you said

these threats or you threaten this other

person because you were so very upset

that you acted uh out of emotion rather

than

uh the actual intent to hurt someone so

that’s a defense to uh terroristic

threats or threats of violence
