MS SB2127

Amends the Mississippi Terroristic Threats Law (Section 97-7-75) to revise the elements required for the offense of making a terroristic threat

Removes the requirement that threats must be made "to cede to the person's demands" when intimidating civilian populations or influencing government, educational institutions, or businesses

Maintains that a terroristic threat requires making a threat to commit violence or bodily injury that causes reasonable expectation or fear of imminent commission of an offense

Preserves the provision that defendants cannot use lack of actual intent or capability to commit the threatened act as a defense

Conviction remains a felony punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment in the Mississippi Department of Corrections
