Los Angeles Kidnapping Defense

Posted on: May 13, 2010 at 12:14 a.m.

Whenever a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney represents someone charged with kidnapping, there are always extenuating circumstances which can be overlooked by the general public. A recent Riverside Kidnapping case has drawn attention to the various complications surrounding any kidnapping investigation.

A man is being hunted for kidnapping a woman and her two month old daughter. The kidnapping had been reported earlier today after police say Rafael Delgado, 19, carried Nayelly Maldonado, 18, over his shoulder and put her into his car. They say he also took the child in his arms and put her in the car. However, the alleged kidnapper is also the father of the two month old child and former boyfriend of the woman. Obviously, this is not a cut and dry kidnapping case, rather a matter involving a domestic relationship and various allegations. Two family members of the woman allegedly kidnapped were also involved in the case, further complicating the case. Any Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney who represents an individual in such a case will recognize the huge potential pitfalls involved.

Any Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney will tell you that during a divorce, separation or domestic dispute, one of the parties may make wild accusations or accuse the other of some type of crime. When children are involved, a parent may feel that the law is not properly protecting their son or daughter, and in turn may "kidnap" that child. Los Angeles kidnapping laws do address a parent taking their own child with permission; however, in the mind of a parent, their parental authority trumps the law.

Courts, prosecutors and juries may only want to see a small portion of the truth, but with a skilled defense lawyer by your side, you can be sure the courts will not ignore your rights as a mother or father.
