A San Francisco woman is facing federal charges for allegedly threatening on an online message board to kill the husband of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman who died Thursday after the removal of her feeding tube.
On March 23, Dera Marie Jones, 32, wrote, "If she dies I will kill Michael Schiavo and the judge. This for real!" on an America Online message board that dealt with the Schiavo case, FBI Special Agent Christopher Sadlowski wrote in an affidavit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.
Jones, who was formerly in a band called fatalblastwhip, told FBI agents that she was "just kidding" when she posted it and that she had to change her screen name because of threats she received because of her message, Sadlowski wrote.
Jones was charged with transmitting in interstate commerce a communication containing a threat to injure a person.
