Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: CA penal code 422, threats

Based on what you have written, my sense is that you will keep making matters worse for yourself unless and until you hire a lawyer.

Admitting your guilt to the police and then putting it in writing may have erased any chance you had of persuading the DA to give you a plea bargain or of being acquitted at trial.

You need a lawyer to protect whatever chance you may still have of beating the charges or at least is getting a lenient sentence. Start looking for one right away, and stop talking about your case to anyone other than the lawyers you meet.

You are in a world of soup.

Your poor judgment in making a terroristic threat, even as a joke, was compounded by your even poorer judgment in making a written confession to the police.

Maybe your Mom will hire you a good lawyer in time to possibly keep you from being fed to Bubba up at the state prison.

Re: CA penal code 422, threats

What will happen to you depends upon how you're actually charged and what your defenses are to the felony charges of terrorist & death threats, and how effective your attorney is. You face potential prison time, and you admitted guilt already. You need effective legal help, and you need to immediately exercise your right to remain silent, better late than never. Feel free to contact me if serious about getting help, if the case is in SoCal.
