Man Accused Of Threatening Governor Gregoire uses the Ann Coulter defense

It's all a big misunderstanding. In an exclusive interview at his home in Wapato, Jeffery Martelli shook his head and said, "It's been pretty rough. It's been pretty rough." Martelli was arrested for threatening to kill Governor Christine Gregoire and her children. But he says he made the comment only to his therapist, and just to make a point about abortion. "There was not a threat there," Martelli insists. "This doctor has interjected all this and blown it way out of proportion. What was mentioned was Christine Gregoire's name and abortion." "All this extra security for Christine Gregoire and then my name in there," he says. "I don't appreciate that. And, I just want to set the record straight." Martelli will get that chance in court. He's scheduled to go to trial for threatening the Governor on March 14. Meantime, he's free on $10,000 bail. Link
