A judge has sentenced a prisoner for a death threat poem, saying the man's words were 'calculated and menacing'.
A convicted killer has been sentenced to four-and-a-half years' jail over a death threat poem he sent to his former partner from jail.The sentencing judge described Fuller's actions as calculated and menacingJustin Fuller admitted to sending the threatening poem in May 2021 after learning his former partner had taken up with another man who was his friend.
Newcastle District Court Judge Penelope Hock did not hold back when she described the seriousness of the poem. "It included, 'Could I make killing you a form of art? Will the next time you looking at me in the eyes be your time to die'," Judge Hock said."The terms are extremely violent, menacing and explicit, the words were calculated to instil fear in the victim, and understandably, they succeeded," the judge said."The offender took the time to think about these words and cause the victim immediate terror and to feel insecure in the future," she said.
