The following excerpt is from People v. Green, 164 Cal.Rptr. 1, 27 Cal.3d 1, 609 P.2d 468 (Cal. 1980):
57 Because the statute declaring the crime of kidnaping for the purpose of robbery (Pen.Code, 209) is deemed to incorporate the definition of "kidnaping" set forth in section 207 (People v. Daniels (1969) supra, 71 Cal.2d 1119, 1131, 80 Cal.Rptr. 897, 459 P.2d 225), cases decided under both statutes are apposite for this purpose.
