Woman Found Not Guilty of Kidnapping, Other Charges

Our client was charged with a first-degree felony count of kidnapping, a first-degree felony count of criminal conspiracy, a first-degree misdemeanor count of unlawful restraint, and a second-degree misdemeanor count of simple assault.

The charges stemmed from a situation we see often. Our client’s boyfriend was the person engaged in illegal activity, but she happened to be present at the time the illegal activity was happening and did nothing about it. Additionally, there was a gun involved in the commission of the crime. Our client was facing a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 to 10 years.

We took our client’s kidnapping and other charges to trial. After presenting our case and arguments, the jury found our client not guilty on all charges.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
