Does the law of criminal attempt apply to the crime of attempted criminal threat?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Chandler, 176 Cal.Rptr.3d 548, 332 P.3d 538, 60 Cal.4th 508 (Cal. 2014):
In People v. Toledo (2001) 26 Cal.4th 221, 109 Cal.Rptr.2d 315, 26 P.3d 1051 (Toledo ), we held that the law of criminal attempt applies to the offense of criminal threat, so that "under California law, there is a crime of attempted criminal threat." ( Id. at p. 224, 109 Cal.Rptr.2d 315, 26 P.3d 1051.) Toledo, our first and only encounter with the crime of attempted criminal threat, provides useful background for framing the issue presented here.
