If you're being sentenced for Domestic Violence.. DONT attack the judge to dispute it

First her husband filed a domestic violence order against her, now a Kentucky woman faces more charges after officials say she tried to attack a judge.

In addition to a 120-day contempt of court sentence, Melissa Harvick of Wayne County also faces counts of terroristic threatening and intimidation.

Officials say she interupted her husband during court proceedings and, shortly after, the judge sentenced her to 10 days for contempt. That's when they say she lunged at her.

After the altercation, the judge ruled that the domestic violence order will remain intact.

terroristic threatening *sigh*

Kentucky’s terroristic threatening statute, KRS 508.080, covers two general kinds of threats – threats to a specific person or his property, and threats used to cause public evacuations of buildings and other structures.

KRS 508.080(1)(a) covers the most commonly encountered form of terroristic threatening and requires (1) a threat to commit any crime, which is (2) likely to result in death, serious physical injury, or substantial property damage to another person. "Crime" means any misdemeanor or felony4. "Person" includes any human being, corporation, partnership or governmental authority5. "Serious physical injury" means physical injury which creates a substantial risk of death, or which causes serious and prolonged disfigurement, prolonged impairment of health, or prolonged loss or impairment of the function of any bodily organ6."Physical injury" means substantial physical pain or any impairment of a physical condition7.

KRS 580.080(2) covers the "public threat," and makes it an offense for a person to intentionally make false statements for the purpose of causing evacuation of a building, place of assembly, or facility of public transportation. Phoning in a bomb threat to a school, or shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre immediately come to mind as examples.

If you tell someone in Kentucky "i'm gonna find you and kill you" ... that's terroristic threatenin.

Nope. Pics at end of the video.

Judge looks hot, except for the nose.

See how she brushed her hair to the side? I bet she is as hot as a firecracker.

The first thing that went through her mind when the judge sentenced her was "how the hell do I get meth when I'm in jail?!". The rest is history.

That has to be one of the biggest bullshit laws on the books based on that wording. I'd challenge the legitimacy of that classification if I were being charged with it.

She jumped over the counter, attacked and threatened a judge.

Do you think she's smart enough to even SPELL challenge??

Haha, no, I just wanted to make the point that their classification of "terroristic threats" are ridiculous; with their definition a "terroristic threat" is identical to a regular threat.

You have that definition confused with terrorism charges.

Most people hear that and think it has something to do with terrorism. It doesn't. You can replace "terroristic" with "scary" if it makes you feel better. Either way, you can't threaten to harm someone.

 

[mrjminer]

You are correct. I looked it up and it said it was an effective law on June 21, 2001, and I somehow interpreted that as being after 9/11 and guessed it was a kneejerk response law. Then, I looked it up on a different source and saw that it was on the books since like 1974. I guess my mind is warped after 10 years of politicians and media labeling everything as terrorism.

Why not just call it assault? Do we have to hyper sensationalize everything? Everything now has to have terrorism in it. It's like putting i before every apple product.

because it's not?

If i say "Sourceninja... i'm gonna come to your house, kill your dog, and string it up by its intestines" ... i did NOT assault you.

I made a threat of terror.

I think princess ida said her husband turned into this. He was totally fine, then he just slowly went crazy. Sometimes it happens. The woman you marry right now could turn schizophrenic in 10 years. You never know.

It is only sensationalism in your mind because you're still trying to connect it to terrorism. It has nothing to do with terrorism. The law was not named with any intention of relating it to terrorism in the sense that you're thinking of.

You know the word "terror" existed long before it was applied to what we now call "terrorism," right? Just because a word can be applied to one thing does not mean it always refers to that thing.

No it is not "terror". It's verbal abuse at best, bullying at worst. Terrorism is a word used too loosely to describe even the most tripe threats. If a kid says to another kid in kentucky "I'm gonna punch you in the nose" it's terrorism. That's pathetic.

You know what terrorism is? Being afraid to get a cup of coffee because someone might blow the place up. Being afraid your family might get gang raped in the middle of the night and force to watch one by one as their skulls are caved in. And all of that because of differences in political ideals. That's terrorism.

Since the article doesn't state WHAT was said to the judge, then based on your comment above, you AGREE what was said might very well have been terroristic in nature.

Good.

Case closed.
