When Situations Get Out of Hand, the Consequences Can Be Devastating
Conviction for kidnapping can carry extremely serious consequences, up to and including life in prison. Unfortunately, kidnapping is a surprisingly common crime in state court. This is due in part to the fact that the Nevada statute defining kidnapping is unusually broad.
This means that prosecutors are often free to add a kidnapping charge to a much less serious offense. For example, we have seen kidnapping charges tacked on to a relatively straightforward domestic violence case. We have seen kidnapping charges associated with other crimes like robbery. We have even seen parents charged with kidnapping or child abduction due to a custody dispute.
Appending a kidnapping charge to a case can be an aggressive prosecution tactic designed to force a plea agreement. If you are facing kidnapping charges or if a loved one has been arrested, you need an equally aggressive defense.
