Criminal Threats Charges Have Other Consequences
In California, making criminal threats can be prosecuted as either a misdemeanor or a felony. Depending upon how this charge is prosecuted and the circumstances of your criminal threats case, the outcome can be impacted by California’s Three Strikes Law. Since the consequences of the Three Strikes Law are exceptionally serious, it is critical that you hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you against criminal threats charges. A person’s age doesn’t necessarily protect them against the full consequences of the law, because juveniles in their late teens can be charged as adults, receive adult convictions and get adult sentences.
