This is BS. She can't go "willingly" because she is a minor. She cannot make legally that decision. It's like saying she "willingly" signed a contract to buy a house.
I would think that you're right. But it would get Ludwig off the hook for kidnapping.
She was kidnapped, but if they end up charging this girl, then the kidnapping charge against Ludwig would possibly be seen as contradictory to a jury.
Of course she can go willingly, minor or not. That's why in many states (including Pennsylvania), she could be tried as an adult.
My thoughts also. Can a 14 year old "willingly" have sex with a 30 year old man?
Well, she ran down the street after they guy. Seems pretty willing to me.
"(Kara) observed the defendant pull out a gun and shoot her father. As she fled from the house, (Kara) then saw the defendant turn and point his gun towards her mother."
Maybe you didn't see this part. She WATCHED him kill her parents. She saw them bleeding and dying. Then she stepped over them in her rush to join her beloved.
