Arizona Kidnapping Penalties
Kidnapping convictions can result in a class 2 felony all the way to a class 6 felony depending on the facts and specifics of the case. Age of the victim, the length of time restrained, and whether a weapon is used, are all factors considered by law when classifying a kidnapping crime and defining penalties. It’s one of the reasons having a kidnapping lawyer on your side early on is so important. A reputable kidnapping lawyer can begin to protect you from outrageous allegations and claims early on in criminal trial proceedings.
