OJ told her that he would break her neck by his hands. How would he do that while he's in jail? If he orders a hit on her, that's a different story.

When he gets out of jail, makes a death threat to her again and she reports it to police, he will be arrested definitely.

what I mean to tell you is that most death threats are empty threats... therefore not illegal.

if it's illegal - then probably over 10,000 people would go to jail just for saying it. stupid.


incorrect.

saying "bomb" in a plane is a crime.
saying "I'm gonna kill you" to President of United States is not a crime but can be detained by FBI/Secret Service/bunch of 3-letters agencies depending on situation.
saying "I'm gonna kill you" to a person is not a crime but can be detained by police depending on situation.

to make a death threat a crime would be a violation of First Amendment.

Indeed. Commiting a felony means commiting a crime which means doing something that's a no-no whether a person gets caught or not by the police. Getting caught leads to getting arrested and then charged with a crime. Yeah. Pretty straight-forward. Strange how people think that issuing death threats isn't a crime. Hoo boy.

plus - I didn't exactly say it isn't a crime.... which was why I elaborated a bit more on it.

everybody knows it's illegal to make a death threat against the President (but in most cases - nobody goes to jail because it's not illegal just to utter an angry comment) however he went too far.

there's a difference between "credible" death threat and "non-issue" death threat otherwise..... how is America any different from British Empire where it's punishable by death or torture to threaten a King? precisely what the First Amendment is all about.

Texas police officer to be questioned over George Zimmerman stop | Fox News

I wondered how a picture was taken of his vehicle made it out to the internet. Surely this off duty cop knew and recognized the name GZ over the radio. What he did further endangered GZ by identifying the type of vehicle he drives. Sounds like the off duty cop may6 get disciplined.

:laugh2: at this video. I guess the cop didn't recognize him because GZ could have worn a baseball cap and sunglasses while driving.

Alot of people would do anything for money.
