What the Defenses to a New Jersey Kidnapping Charge?

There are two statutory affirmative defenses available to a person charged with kidnapping. One defense is that you had a reasonable belief that the kidnapping was necessary to protect the victim from danger. Another defense is that you reasonably believed that a parent or state agency had consented to the taking of the child. There are strict rules for either of these defenses to prove successful so it is always highly advisable to enlist a top NJ criminal defense lawyer if you want to succeed.
