imminency definition

imminency can be established by means other than proof that a threatening remark will be executed immediately, at once, and without delay. One means of proving the "imminency" is to establish that the threat was uttered under circumstances that rendered it so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to the person threatened, as to convey a gravity of purpose and imminent prospect of execution. Another means of proving the "imminency" is to establish that the defendant possessed the apparent ability to carry out the threat, such that the threat would reasonably tend to induce fear of bodily injury in the victim.
