Supreme Court of North Carolina April 12, 1972, 15 (State v. Hudson)

HUSKINS, Justice.

We first consider defendant’s contention that the evidence is insufficient to carry the case to the jury on the charge of kidnapping.

G.S. 14-39 does not define kidnapping and therefore the common-law definition of that crime is the law of this State.

*104

G.S. 4-1.
