People v. Khan

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of committing disorderly conduct by making a threat of violence against persons at a school and sentenced to 30 months probation. Defendant had posted threats of violence to persons at North Central College, on a Facebook page. The school-threat subsection of the disorderly conduct statute does not violate 1st amendment or substantive due process. Evidence was sufficient to prove that Defendant knowingly communicated a true threat to cause harm, and that he intended that his word cause such apprehension. (JORGENSEN and SPENCE, concurring.)
