| 释义 | `1`Threats Against President `2` "Legal Lexicon": THREATS AGAINST PRESIDENT - 18 USC 871, makes it a Federal crime or offense for anyone to willfully make a true threat to injure or kill the President of the United States. A person can be found guilty of that offense only if all of the following facts are proved beyond a reasonable doubt: First: That the person uttered words alleged to be the threat against the President; Second: That the person understood and meant the words he used as a true threat; and Third: That the person uttered the words knowingly and willfully. A "threat" is a statement expressing an intention to kill or injure the President; and a "true threat" means a serious threat as distinguished from words used as mere political argument, idle or careless talk, or something said in a joking manner. The essence of the offense is the knowing and willful making of a true threat. So, if it is proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the person knowingly made a true threat against the President, willfully intending that it be understood by others as a serious threat, then the offense is complete; it is not necessary to prove that the person actually intended to carry out the threat. |
