Bomb Threat in Los Angeles Airport from Southern California Resident
On July 3rd, 2008, an Irvine resident named Scott Lee walked into the Tom Bradley Terminal at LAX and threatened to blow up the airport with a bomb in his backpack. He was immediately arrested for a bomb-threat and held at $20,000 bail. Lee's threat sparked an FBI investigation -- and raised many eyebrows, considering that it came in the wake of a very similar terrorist threat made in Washington D.C. just minutes earlier by a different individual. Although no explosive materials were found on Lee, considering the security sensitivity in the wake of the 9/11/2001 attacks, he could be convicted of a serious felony charge and sentenced to many years in prison -- just for making the threat.
Both Federal and California State Law provide numerous legal protections for criminal defendants. Unfortunately, many accused don't fully understand their rights under the law and, as a result, get less than adequate defense. Whether you have been accused of something "mundane" such as a traffic misdemeanor or a hit-and-run charge, or you have been tagged with a salacious felony charge, such as sexual assault or bomb-making, you need a top notch California federal crime defense attorney to argue for your rights. After all, there are literally countless exculpatory explanations for certain criminal acts. For instance, in this case, perhaps the accused was suffering a side effect from a doctor-prescribed medication and had an episode. The point is that unless and until a defendant gets adequate legal counsel, justice may not be fully served.
