You will need a good lawyer, whether you are innocent or guilty.\n\nI would suggest a sincere letter of apology regardless.\n\nMean people suck!

If she's threatening you, I think you should go to the police as firstly she has no right to do this and can't be allowed to get away with it, and secondly you have the right to live without being threatened or harassed.  Get a lawyer onto her.  Try your citizen's advice office too.  She sounds one unhappy woman.

Just verbal?  Find that hard to believe unless she said the words where threatening like " i'm going to kill you"\nNow it has gone as far as the police and lawyers are involved, I would take their advice, apologise and hope the police accept that...a judge might not!  Good luck

What exactly would you be suing them for?  Kindly remind them that this issue has already been dealt with.  Unless they are harassing you about this, don't waste your time trying to take them to court.

If you were a victim of this person, contact the police for advice.\n\nIf not, I say stay away from this person for your own well being.  By the time that a person is old enough to be sent prison, they are already pretty much set in their ways, and rarely change their thinking, habits, or life styles.\n\nFind someone who has better values.

You have to post bail, if it applies to him...\nYou have to find out what are the charges first, and work from there... hope you can resolve it soon

To make a death threat is most definitely a felony...y'all wanting to do time?  It's not much fun.  Even pointing an empty gun at someone and not saying a word is a felony.  Be careful guy.

Each state has its own set of sentencing guidelines.\n\nAs to the other apart of your statement, the charge would stick, as long as the person lives...additional charges would be filed if should they die as a result of the action. And NO, the judge isn't going to lenient because you're a lousy shot!

You can't. You have to pay them. I guess death would work.

You can try to sue for wrongful death, but there's no guarantee you will win.\n\nIn certain circumstances, police are authorized to pursue suspects across state lines.

Tell an administrator. And depending on the laws in your area, after that you have the right to file charges for threatening or harassing behavior. just have all your facts straight and documented

I just dealt with a case like this where an individual was told not to call on go near another person, they filled an order of protection and he ws not present.  He didn't even know it existed.  It was his own mother and step dad.  They lured him to the apartment complex by telling his aunt that his property was on the stoop.  He picked it up.  The next day he was just walking down the street and was picked up by police based on a description and arrested for violation a restraining order, fined and arrested.  I got him released ROR argueing the same points as some of your answers listed above but the short of it is he is going to county lock up if he doesn't beat the charge.  lawyers fees are expensive.  he can now only afford a public defender and they are way over worked, under paid and not to bright, I would expect probation or 30 days incarceration at county lock up and if you are not careful you will receive the same.  After the hearing the constable or someone will make one attempt to serve you and that is it.  You need to obey the order or face arrest.  Unless you have unlimited money for attorneys fee you shouldn't fight it.  Or you might be using the public pretenders office.  Work this out through a third party and be apologetic and humble.  Get this order dropped or you will run into this person and do some time.  This case was in Upstate NY but the laws are very common throughout the US and some places might add stalking.  Big jail time!  watch your step, the law is on the filers side, file a counter order asap.
