Sounds like he’s not a bad dude just a guy who’s struggling in life and doesn’t know what else to resort to.
i actually stole this image from Reddit r/madlads
A lot of people are agreeing that he did it only so he doesn't take kidnapping charges
honestly very sad way to see the thing
To be fair, kidnapping doesn't have a minimum duration before it becomes legally applicable; he already kidnapped the child the first time he drove off.
E. If it wasn't clear, my logic above is why I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt on that one small facet of this interaction.
My understanding of US Law isn't great, so take this with a grain of salt, but for a kidnapping to occur doesn't the accused have to do it willfully and wrongfully?
from what i've learned there are 2 outcomes: they actually prosecute according to the law in which case intent is usually very important, or they prosecute according to who has more money in which case all that matters is what shit they can get away with sentencing him for.
Yeah. Makes the idea he did it for that actually pretty stupid
Doesn't US law require intention?
I'd gamble it's because being a thief is different from baby kidnapper. Not all criminals are the same. I don't expect a jaywalker to murder me.
That part doesn't seem that sad. It seems normal.
The sad part is that they are saying that he would do both crimes if able
Oh, then I definitely agree with you.
