Re: Death threat consequences
Section 18.2-60 of the Virginia Criminal Code can make such threats illegal if one is placed in reasonable apprehension by the making of such threat. The crime itself can range from a Class 1 misdemeanor to a Class 5 felony, depending upon the particular circumstances involved.
