Terroristic Threats in California.

What is the first thing you think of when you think of a terror threat?  It is only natural to think that someone from another culture or country is threatening America.  Let’s bring it down to a personal level.  A terroristic threat in California may be actionable between spouses!  That’s right - one person within a union may file an action against the other due to perceived verbal or written threats.

In the Big Bear state this is known as California Penal Code 422.  If someone even “feels” that they or their children’s safety is at stake or if a threat is specific it could result in a criminal charge.  Even communicating a perceived threat by modern means such as a tweet, a text, or an email can get someone in serious trouble. 

Don’t take a charge such as this lightly.  Even if both sides are fully aware that something was said or written in “the heat of battle” it is on the record.  If you or someone you care about has been charged for a domestic crime such as this, immediately call San Jose terroristic threat defense attorney William Chestnut.  Bill has just about seen it all in his 40 years of practice.  Call him today at (408) 298-6990.
