The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday threw out the stalking conviction of a Colorado man who sent hundreds of unwanted Facebook messages to a female musician, ruling that state prosecutors had not shown that he was aware of the "threatening nature" of his statements.
I’m certainly not a lawyer but I think this is not really condoning his behavior, it’d likely still be prosecuted under an acceptable law, but that the law itself was too restrictive about what would be considered a threat. Does that seem right?
