What is Kidnapping Under 720 ILCS 5/10-1?

Kidnapping means unlawful restraint and movement of victims by force or threat. This involves forcibly confining or moving someone against their will through force or intimidation.

Unlike simple restraint cases, kidnapping cases involve complex evidence including movement documentation, force determinations, and victim testimony. However, these procedures may contain technical flaws and constitutional violations that experienced defense attorneys can challenge to win cases.

The key to defending kidnapping charges lies in attacking the reliability of restraint evidence and constitutional violations during arrest.
