California kidnappers get no parole under tough law
Superior Court Judge Lea Deegan found three men who kidnapped 26 Chowchilla students and their bus driver suffered bodily harm to captives and face a no parole sentence. The July 2018 ordeal caused fainting spells and stomach distress among victims, the judge ruled, as the defendants admitted kidnapping but denied more serious bodily harm charges. The case now moves to a sentencing hearing with possible appeals anticipated by defense.
