There are two degrees of kidnapping depending on the circumstances under which the commission of the alleged crime took place. The more serious, first degree kidnapping, can be charged when any of the following occurred during the commission:
- Victim is held for ransom
- Victim dies during the kidnapping even if it is unintentional
- Victim is restrained with intent to cause injury, sexually assault, terrorize or otherwise abuse
If convicted of first degree kidnapping you can plan on spending 15-25 years behind bars. When you have been charged with first degree kidnapping it is especially crucial to have the skill and knowledge of an experienced kidnapping defense lawyer on your side.
