We know that he will do time regardless, but are wondering whether to just let him use a public defender or get a lawyer.
answered on Jun 28, 2019

In a online smear campaign this guy says I owe him money and he will sqeeze it out of me and he knows where I live and he will get me. Is this criminal harrassment or criminal threat?
