In Arizona, criminal law forbids what it calls “making a criminal threat.” If you threaten to kill or physically harm another person, and if that person then reasonably fears for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family, under the Arizona criminal codes you can be convicted of the criminal offense of making a criminal threat. A criminal threat can be communicated verbally, electronically, or in writing. You can be prosecuted for making a criminal threat whether or not you actually intended to follow through with the threat. In the greater Phoenix area, if you are accused of making a criminal threat, speak at once with an experienced Phoenix criminal threats lawyer at the law firm of Faussette & Faussette. The criminal defense help you need is here.
YOU CAN BE CONFIDENT
Making a criminal threat can be prosecuted in Arizona as a misdemeanor or as a felony. A conviction for a Class 1 misdemeanor charge for threatening or intimidating is punishable by up to six months in jail and/or a fine of up to $2,500. If the crime is prosecuted as a felony and you’re convicted, you can be sentenced to up to seven years in prison and fined up to $10,000. However, the state must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt to obtain a criminal conviction, and in criminal threat cases, without documentation of the incident, that can often be difficult. When you are defended by an experienced Phoenix criminal defense attorney at the law firm of Faussette & Faussette, you can be confident that your side of the story will be clearly told and fully understood.
