Oct 14, 2022

October 14, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - New Jersey terroristic threats lawyer Adam M. Lustberg (https://www.lustberglaw.com/terroristic-threats-lawyer/) releases a new article that explains the Terroristic Threats Law in New Jersey. The lawyer mentions that sometimes, because of emotions, people say things that they should not. However, threats of harm may be taken very seriously in New Jersey. Terroristic threats such as pointing a gun at someone’s head or brandishing a knife in someone’s direction can be charged with a crime of terroristic threats.

“Often, because of the emotions involved between spouses and family members, during an argument that leads to domestic violence, threats of harm may have been issued. Whether you intended to carry out a violent act against the individual or not if your words or actions caused a person to fear that you were going to physically harm them you can be charged with the crime of terroristic threats in New Jersey,” the New Jersey terroristic threats lawyer says.

The lawyer explains that if someone has a case pending for terroristic threats, they may face severe penalties. If someone is convicted of terroristic threats, they may be facing 3-5 years in state prison. Terroristic threats can also include bomb threats or shooting threats.

Attorney Adam M. Lustberg also says that someone will likely be charged with terroristic threats if they threaten to commit a violent crime with the purpose to terrorize another or cause evacuation of a building, place of assembly, facility of public transportation, or otherwise to cause serious public inconvenience.

“A person is guilty of a terroristic threats crime of the third degree if he threatens to kill another with the purpose to put him in imminent fear of death under circumstances reasonably causing the victim to believe the immediacy of the threat and the likelihood that it will be carried out,” says attorney Lustberg.

Furthermore, the criminal defense attorney says that terroristic threats carry penalties of 3-5 years in jail, a fine of up to $75,000, and a probationary period. However, if the threats were made during a state of emergency, it may be punishable with 5-10 years in jail, a fine of up to $250,000, and a probationary period.

Lastly, attorney Lustberg emphasizes the importance of having a skilled lawyer when facing terroristic threats charges. Having an experienced attorney may be able to help the defendant protect their freedom and understand their rights in the case.
