Summary

In People v. Orr (47 Misc.3d 1213[A]) the court determined that New York courts have consistently found that there is no "true threat" in those cases where the communication either did not contain a threat of future violence at all or the seeming threat was not sufficiently specific (id. at *2).

Summary of this case from People v. Depasquale

In Orr, this Court extensively surveyed the landscape of "true threat" cases in New York. The Court determined that New York courts have consistently found that there is no "true threat" in those cases where the communication either did not contain a threat of future violence at all or the seeming threat was not sufficiently specific, and have consistently found that there is a "true threat" in cases where the communication conveyed a clear and unambiguous message that the recipient could not help but understand as a threat of future violence.
