Supreme Court Hears Case on When 'True Threat' Messages Cross a Legal Line

Singer-songwriter Coles Whalen's legal battle has reached the Supreme Court
The case involves whether invasive messages sent to her over a number of years constitute a "true threat" in the eyes of the law
The legal question is whether the definition of a "true threat" is in the eye of the ordinary, reasonable beholder or in the eye of the writer of the messages
The case involves the First Amendment's protection of freedom of speech and whether there are exceptions for "true threats"
A decision in the case is expected by summer
