Atlanta Kidnapping Defense Attorney
Kidnapping carries extremely harsh penalties in Georgia. If the person kidnapped received bodily injury the penalty is life imprisonment or death. Any physical injury, however slight constitutes the requisite bodily harm within the meaning of O.C.G.A. § 16-5-40.
Prior to 1968, kidnapping required a forcible abduction of the victim. The present law, however, requires an abduction and a holding of a person against his will. No force is required to accomplish the abduction.
Georgia False Imprisonment & Child Abduction Defense
The offense of kidnapping requires at least slight asportation i.e. moving the person against his will. It is crucial that a kidnapping case, or a case of kidnapping with bodily injury, is thoroughly investigated. In my experience the facts of a given case may support lesser charges and even the dismissal of criminal charges.
