Citing First Amendment protections, Judge J. Thomas Marten ruled that Dillard’s letter was not a “true threat” because she did not personally intend to harm the doctor. He refused to issue a preliminary injunction that would have kept her 250 feet away from the doctor, her clinic and her home. The lawsuit is still pending while the judge awaits arguments on whether to dismiss the case entirely.
