Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• kidnapping statute intended to address “movement serving to substantially isolate the victim from protection or rescue”
• establishing the four-factor test adopted by Garza and holding that a short involuntary night-time drive to a beach where victim was robbed did not satisfy kidnapping statute
• overruling three decades of precedent requiring only slight movement under kidnapping statute
• establishing new factors for assessing the asportation element of Georgia's pre-2009 kidnapping statute
• evil addressed by kidnapping statute is “movement serving to substantially isolate the victim from protection or rescue”
