Terroristic Threats

What Defenses Are Available When I’m Charged With Terroristic Threats (N.J.S.A. 2C:12-3) In New Jersey?

April 16, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

New Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney For Those Arrested On Terroristic Threats Charges(N.J.S.A. 2C:12-3)

Because the charge of Terroristic Threats (N.J.S.A. 2C:12-3) often relies on the testimony of a single witness, there are many ways to craft narratives that rebut the evidence against you.

When the charge is based on making threats against an establishment or public place, the prosecution may focus on things like phone or email records, with no way to prove that you were in possession of your phone or the true author of a threatening email.

A fight in the home that results in charges under N.J.S.A. 2C:12-3 may not even have a complaining witness if your spouse or significant other chooses to recant their statement.

Every case has its own set of facts, and every set of facts carries its own set of rebuttals and defense tactics.

Attorney Matthew Reisig has defended people across New Jersey when facing Terroristic Threats charges or domestic violence charges.
