Q: I had a text exchange regarding pay with an individual who became threatening. What should I do
1 Answer | Asked in Criminal Law for Louisiana on Jul 27, 2015
Answered on Aug 25, 2015
Robert Jason De Groot's answer
Since you put this under the category of criminal law, perhaps you should go see a criminal defense attorney. You didn\'t say what the threat was or even if there was a threat. Generally speaking, a threat to do bodily harm must be coupled with the present ability to carry out the threat, in my opinion.
