Howard Gimmey's Alleged Threats
Howard Gimmey is facing charges over his alleged social media posts about Trump.
"I'm going to kill the President," Gimmey's alleged post began. "I'm going to make those who put me here pay."
"And it's a long list of people now and sadly every single Trump voter is now added to that list," the alleged post continued. "May God have mercy on you if you voted for Trump and you cross my path because you're gonna feel some f***ing pain."
"I had to leave my apartment and go live in my car two Winters ago," he allegedly concluded. "I am planning violence."
Prosecutors accuse Gimmey of acting 'with recklessness.'
Gimmey was first charged for his alleged threat against Trump back in June. This latest indictment focuses on his alleged threat against the president's supporters.
Prosecutors accuse him of having made the threats "knowingly" and "willfully," and of acting "with recklessness."
According to a Department of Justice press release, the charges were brought about by an investigation by FBI Oklahoma City’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, the United States Secret Service, and the Midwest City Police Department.
Moreover, Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Dillon is prosecuting the case.
Howard Gimmey's Team Responds to Charges
Gimmey's public defenders want the government to prove he knew his statements about Trump were considered threats.
Gimmey's legal team is pushing the prosecution to prove that their client understood his statements were considered threats.
"[Gimmey] requests a pretrial ruling that, to obtain a conviction … the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he understood and meant his words as a threat; that recklessness concerning their threatening character, standing alone, is insufficient; and that the jury must be instructed accordingly," a motion filed on October 7 reads.
