A-20-22 State v. Calvin Fair (086617)
Is the portion of the terroristic threats statute, N.J.S.A. 2C:12-3(a), which criminalizes a threat to commit a crime of violence made “in reckless disregard of the risk of causing . . . terror,” unconstitutionally overbroad and did the jury instructions fail to ensure a unanimous verdict?
