Does kidnapping to commit robbery constitute kidnapping if the intent to rob was formed at the time the kidnapping took place?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Laursen, 22 Cal.App.3d 1033, 99 Cal.Rptr. 841 (Cal. App. 1972):
In People v. Tribble, supra, 4 Cal.3d 826, 94 Cal.Rptr. 613, 484 P.2d 589, the court disapproved prior cases to the contrary and held that the intent to rob must exist at the time the kidnaping takes place, and that if the intent to rob is formed later, it may be kidnaping and robbery but not kidnaping to commit robbery.
