Re: Death threats by computer
You've apparently been talking with the wrong folks regarding this matter, i.e, the court services unit rather than with a prosecutor at your local office of Commonwealth's Attorney.
As a matter of fact, Va. Code Sec. 18.2-60 criminalizes the kind of conduct which you've described(threats communicated in writing or electronically)as a possible Class 6 felony.
