Grave Threats
ART.282
ACTS PUNISHABLE:
1. By threatening another with the infliction upon his person, honor or property or that of his family of any wrong amounting to a crime and demanding money or imposing any other condition, even though not unlawful and the offender attained his purpose.
2. By making such threat without the offender attaining his purpose.
3. By threatening another with the infliction upon his person, honor or property or that of his family of any wrong amounting to a crime, the threat not being subject to a condition.
Aggravating circumstances:
(1) if made in writing, or
(2) made through a middleman.
The crime is frustrated if the threat was not received by the person being threatened.
Threat not made in heat of anger, because such threat would be punished as “Other Light Threats”
Grave threats may be committed by indirect challenge to a gunfight, even if complainant was absent when challenge was made; it is sufficient that threats came to knowledge of offended party
Threats made in connection with the commission of other crimes are absorbed by the latter.
The offender in grave threats does not demand the delivery on the spot of the money or other personal property asked by him
When consummated: As soon as the threats came to the knowledge of the offended party.
It is not necessary that the offended party was present at the time the threats were made. It is sufficient that the threats came to his knowledge.
