Kidnapping length and charges.

[naraht]

I know that there are various different levels of charges in each state for the crime of Murder ranging from 1st degree Murder(He planned for 6 months exactly how he was going to...) to X degree Manslaughter (A & B were drunk in a bar and started fighting and B's punch broke A's jaw and...)

Does anyone know if the equivalent situation exists for Kidnapping in general and more specifically in Ohio? (the Cleveland kidnappings).

While I'd hope that you wouldn't have the situation where brothers blindfolding pledges driving them around for an hour and leaving them at the Greyhound depot 2 counties over from the college would get the same charge as this monstrous event. While I agree that the first situation would get the chapter rightfully kicked off of campus, hopefully it wouldn't be treated as the same crime...
