if that inmate has a appeal in progress and the lawyer is informed of the threat will they escalate the situation?
Yes, Holly. If there's an appeal in progress, the lawyer can still:
- Inform the court about the threat
- Request additional security measures
- Advocate for their client's safety
These actions shouldn't affect the appeal negatively.
