What is the test for making a threat under section 422 of the Penal Code?

"In order to prove a violation of [Penal Code] section 422, the prosecution must establish all of the following: (1) that the defendant 'willfully threaten[ed] to commit a crime which will result in death or great bodily injury to another person,' (2) that the defendant made the threat 'with the specific intent that the statement . . . is to be taken as a threat, even if there is no intent of actually carrying it out,' (3) that the threatwhich may be 'made verbally, in writing, or by means of an electronic communication device'was 'on its face and under the circumstances in which it [was] made, . . . so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to convey to the person threatened, a gravity of purpose and an immediate prospect of execution of the threat,' (4) that the threat actually caused the person threatened 'to be in sustained fear for his or her own safety or for his or her immediate family's safety,' and (5) that the threatened person's fear was 'reasonabl[e]' under the circumstances." (People v. Toledo (2001) 26 Cal.4th 221, 227-228 (Toledo).)

" '[T]he determination whether a defendant intended his words to be taken as a threat . . . can be based on all the surrounding circumstances and not just on the words alone. The parties' history can also be considered as one of the relevant circumstances.' " (People v. Butler (2000) 85 Cal.App.4th 745, 754.)

"No evidence is admissible except relevant evidence." ( 350.) Evidence is relevant if it has "any tendency in reason to prove or disprove any disputed fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action." ( 210.) " ' "The test of relevance is whether the evidence tends, 'logically, naturally, and by reasonable inference' to establish material facts such as identity, intent, or motive." ' " (People v. Wilson (2006) 38 Cal.4th 1237, 1245, quoting People v. Harris (2005) 37 Cal.4th 310, 337 (Harris).)
