The Court of Appeals of Virginia affirmed the finding that the appellant posted a threat on his MySpace profile that placed the recipient in reasonable apprehension of death or bodily injury.
The appellant contended that the postings to his MySpace account were not communications to the purported victim because they were published to a public site and not directed to the victim. He also contended that the postings were lyrics, not threats, despite the graphic and violent content. The court of appeals found neither argument persuasive.
The full opinion may be found at JOHN ANDREW-COLLINS HOLCOMB v. COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA.
