Reporters:

Cooper
Cooper, J.,

delivered the opinion of the ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍court.

We find no error in the record. The evidence of what is ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍called antecedent threats was properly excluded on two, grounds:

*537First, because what ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍is called a threat was no threat • and, second, because no overt ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍act is shown which would have justified its introduction in evidence if ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‍it had been a threat.

Judgment affirmed.
