Defending Against Criminal Charges?

In Minnesota, crimes are taken very seriously. Whether it’s rape, murder, drug dealing, or threatening a crime of violence, there is a punishment for every crime. Threatening a crime of violence is a terroristic threat.Terroristic threats are taken seriously and prosecuted aggressively, especially at the juvenile level. If in case you’re invoked with the charges of threatening someone, it’s really important to hire a good attorney for your case.


Punishment for Terroristic Threat Conviction

 Defendants convicted of making terrorist threats face a range of possible penalties. The penalties involved for a terrorist threat typically include one or more of the following:
  • Incarceration. Anyone convicted of a misdemeanor offense for making a terrorist threat faces up to one year in a county jail. For a felony conviction, a court can impose a prison sentence of a year or more. Depending on the state and the nature of the threat, a conviction for making a terrorist threat can vary from 40 to 100, or more in prison sentence.

  • Fines. A convicted may be imposed with minimum fine of $200 and maximum up to $10,000. However, maximum fine can exceed $250,000 for making a terrorist threat.

  • Restitution. Court may also order a person convicted of making a terrorist threat to pay restitution. It’s similar to a fine, but instead of paying it to the state, the convicted person pays restitution to the victims of the terrorist threat in order to compensate them for any damages they suffered as a result of the crime.
