Death threats not a valid method of appealing conviction
Atrel Howard was a convicted federal prisoner. Displeased with his conviction (because he felt he was illegally convicted), Mr. Howard decided to make the decision to call former attorney general Eric Holder and make death threats.
Mr. Howard was unable to reach Mr. Holder directly, so he left a voice mail. In his voice mail message, Mr. Howard helpfully identified himself by full name, his city and state of residence, and mentioned that he was a convicted federal prisoner. He then proceeded to say pretty clearly that he was going to kill and going to murder Mr. Holder.
During the investigation, a secret service agent was able to say, yep, that was Mr. Howard - I recognize his voice from a prior, unrelated investigation.
Surprising no one, Mr. Howard was convicted of making true threats.
