Already covered in the news links, so its not new news on the board. But if we want to discuss, I guess this is as good a place as any.

Does the Can have "priors", or whatever they're called? Up to 25 years sounds very severe for threatening phone calls.

I thought the same thing.

No wonder tellamarkers are always calling my house. They are kickass in Mississippi!

I havent seen the laws involved, but the federal cyberstalking statute, (18 USC 875) which includes threatening, interstate phone calls, allows up to 20 years imprisonment. This has nothing to do with the state of Mississippi.
