Second Degree Kidnapping
New York Penial Law states, “S 135.20…A person is guilty of kidnapping in the second degree when he abducts another person.”(kidnapping, n.d.) Second-degree kidnapping is a class B felony. With a second-degree kidnapping charge a person is looking at a minimum sentence of five years or more. Those charged with second-degree kidnapping can be fined $10,000 dollars or more. Those who are released after serving their time for kidnapping could have probation afterwards for several years. Kidnapping is a serious criminal offense. People who are even investigated for kidnapping even if they are never charged, can still suffer from social judgement. If a person is charged with kidnapping it will likely hurt their chances of employment in the future.

The leader of this group, Henry Alton, who is suspected of multiple homicides, soon takes matters into his own hands when the authorities fail to get a confession from Succat. Alton kidnaps Succat and takes him to a warehouse in Leixlip. Several eye witness viewed the kidnapping and reported multiple armed men including Alton snatching Succat off the streets.

Finally, Thursday afternoon, the unbelievable happens. Succat walks into the Police Station unharmed with the gang and a stranger wearing a sheet. However, that is not the flabbergasting fact. When the members of the 8th Avenue Gang were arrested at the scene, they not only confessed to the kidnapping and conspiracy to murder Succat, but also claimed to have seen Succat to raise a corpse from the dead. This story isn't completely false. Sometime last Friday, a corpse was admitted to the morgue which is beside the old warehouse. Adam Donald had died at the scene of a fatal car collision last Thursday. What was originally a suspected break in was something else entirely.

    Charles Lindenburg Kidnapping

    On March 1st 1932, 20-month-old Charles Lindbergh III was kidnapped. He was the con of the internationally known pilot, Charles Lindbergh. Lindbergh and his wife Ana discovered the ransom note in their son’s room. The note demanded $50,000 for the return of the child. The kidnapper was very clever, using a ladder to sneak up to the child’s room and snatch him. He had left clues, however they were all false. Everyone wanted to help find the missing baby, even though locked up, Al Capone had offered his help. A few days later, another note showed up; this time demanding $70,000. This time the kidnapper seemed serious, giving a time and place to drop off the money. They told the Lindbergh’s that their child was on a boat called the Nelly off the coast of Massachusetts, but after long hours of searching nothing was found, no boat and no child. Shortly after, baby Charles Lindbergh III’s body was found not far from the Lindbergh’s mansion. The family was so heartbroken that they moved away after donating their mansion to charity. “The kidnapping looked like it would go unsolved until September 1934, when a marked bill from the ransom turned up. The gas station attendant who had accepted the bill wrote down the license plate number because he was suspicious of the driver. It was tracked back to a German immigrant and carpenter, Bruno Hauptmann.” When the detectives searched Hauptmann house, they found a large portion Lindbergh’s ransom money. He tried denying it but there was plenty of evidence proving he was the kidnapper. Besides the money, the handwriting on the ransom not seemed to closely resemble Hauptmann’s. Although the prosecution’s case was weak, there was still enough evidence to convict Hauptmann. He was then electrocuted the following year. “In the aftermath of the crime--the most notorious of the 1930s--kidnapping was made a federal…

    Federal Kidnapping Case Study

Meanwhile, a murder may be categorized as state crime. The state court will hear the case to determine if the defendant has violated the state law.…

The racially motivated murder of this young black student and the subsequent bungling of the police investigation outraged the public and press alike. The Daily Mail campaigned vigorously for Stephen Lawrence. They even formally accused five men of murder and invited them to sue them if this was wrong. No complaint was ever made.…

    Kidnapping: Jaycee Duggard Case

    The Kidnapping laws and abduction laws of people differ from state to state in the country, but generally they are the same everywhere. They apply to anyone who “without lawful authority, forcibly seizes and confines another, with intent to cause such other person to be secretly confined or imprisoned against his will” (Abduction). Kidnapping is also the unlawful taking of the victim and nefarious motive like obtaining a ransom. An excellent case of kidnapping would be the Jaycee Duggard Case. This case revolves around Phillip Garrido who kidnapped Jaycee Duggard at the age of 11 in 1991. By that time Garrido was already a convicted rapist when he had forcibly taken Duggard just outside her home. Garrido then raped Jaycee repeatedly…

    Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping Research Paper

    Throughout our nation’s history, child abductions have become a concern that the federal government has taken action on in order to face this problem. Cases such as the Lindbergh Baby kidnapping and the ones before and following, were instances that caught the attention of the government and legislatures to solve this pressing issue and have criminals charged for their actions that not only affected the families of these victims, but the nation. The Lindbergh Baby case was the stepping stone for legislatures to pass a law that still plays a major role today in charging abductors. The federal government encounter with child abduction cases, such as the Lindbergh Baby case, and with the public’s sympathy and anger towards this crime, made them push forward a new law that still affects us today.…

    Prison Rape

    Prison Rape is no secret in today’s society. The American media has portrayed prison rape as a joke (Don’t drop the soap) in countless films, television shows, and in music, but have not realized the extent of how dangerous this crime is. Some cops even use this method as a means to get a confession from a suspect. A major obstacle in solving Prison rape is the notorious under-reporting of the crime. Only 16 percent of prison rape victims report their victimization. Reasons for under reporting are fear of consequences, shame, guilt, embarrassment, and refuse to relive painful details. This paper explores prison rape and its psychological and physical harm to not only inmates, but to society as well. It also discusses recent efforts to put a stop to prison rape, such as the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 and The National Prison Rape Elimination Commission (NPREC) as well as organizations such as Just Detention International (JDI).…

    Juvenile Life Imprisonment

    Making mistakes is part of human nature and the progression of self-identity. People do it all of the time, and among people even children make mistakes. Sometimes, the degree of the mistake is minor and other times it is disturbingly extensive. Either way, a punishment is almost mandatory and in the case of an extensive punishment life imprisonment is only too often considered and acted upon. Shutting a child away in prison should be out of the question for three main reasons: they have a chance at rehabilitation, such an immense degree of punishment is unconstitutional and juveniles are in no way the same as adults.…
