When you hear about abductions you probably think wow, someone was kidnapped. Someone was held at knifepoint or gun point and not allowed to leave. But abduction in Virginia has a specific meaning when it comes to bringing a charge against someone. A recent case came out of the Virginia Court of Appeals called Brown v Commonwealth which you can read about here https://www.vacourts.gov/opinions/opncavwp/0598212.pdf
In this episode we discuss this new opinion that just came out on May 10, 2022 and we help to try to educate everyone on how the simplest of actions can lead to a felony like abduction.

You wouldn’t take advice from someone you have never met or spoken to directly, right?

Seeking actual legal advice can be just as important as a tourniquet. The hosts of this podcast are in no way intending to create an attorney-client relationship with any listener. Sorry. We are sure you all are great people but we cannot stress enough how little we know of you and your case and rather than risk an awkward moment, let us just remember we have never met. Nothing on this platform be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation!
