Is terroristic threat a class b misdemeanor?

Answer 1

It could be. "Moral turpitude" has a different meaning in different states. It is defined by statute and/or case law.

Additional information: In the questions example - probably not.

Moral turpitude refers generally to conduct that shocks the public conscience. Offenses such as murder, voluntary manslaughter, kidnapping, robbery, and aggravated assaults involve moral turpitude. However, assaults not involving dangerous weapons or evil intent have been held not to involve moral turpitude.

A crime of moral turpitude is inherently base, vile, or depraved, contrary to social standards of morality and done with a reckless, malicious, or evil intent. It is a broad and subjective term that can be used for any crime that is considered morally and ethically offensive.

The precise definition of a crime that involves moral turpitude isn't always clear, but the following crimes are always considered crimes of moral turpitude:

• murder;
• voluntary manslaughter;
• rape;
• statutory rape;
• domestic violence;
• prostitution;
• fraud and crimes where fraud is an element
• all theft offenses (but see receipt of stolen property below);
• blackmail;
• malicious destruction of property;
• arson;
• alien smuggling;
• harboring a fugitive;
• bribery;
• perjury
