United States v. Marge Garcia, United States of America v. Andro Garcia

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that a kidnapping continued past the date the defendant told the victim to leave, even though no force was used after this date, because the psychological effects of the kidnapping persisted
• holding that kidnapping is a continuing offense because the crime, by its nature, involves unlawful seizure and detention and the perpetration of the offense and harm to the victim continues throughout the duration of the detention
• suggesting that the holding of two young girls by one defendant during a three month period following their actual physical abduction could suffice as a direct violation of the kidnapping statute
• finding that a co-defendant was a conspirator to kidnapping when she “aided in holding” the victim by psychologically terrorizing the victim
• kidnapping is a continuing offense because it involves detention and continues throughout the duration of the detention
• federal kidnapping is continuing offense and therefore statute of limitations does not begin with transport of victim across state lines
