United States Supreme Court

Conviction for violating 18 U. S. C. section 875(c), which makes it a federal crime to transmit in interstate commerce "any communication containing any threat . . . to injure the person of another," is reversed where the The Third Circuit's jury instruction, requiring only negligence with respect to the communication of a threat, is not sufficient to support a conviction under Section 875(c).
