Heller faces a charge of making a written threat of violence under Florida law. Florida Statute 836.10 makes it a second-degree felony to send, post, or transmit a written or electronic record threatening to kill or injure someone, carry out a mass shooting, or commit an act of terrorism. The communication must be made in a manner in which another person may view it.

Am I daft to assume that she didn't intend for her "diary" to be read by someone else? Like how can that be considered as a "written threat" like she intended to send it to the media or something?

Agreed. But they will be for her lawyers to argue in court.
