Three Men Convicted in Shocking Kidnapping | California News

from California News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Three men from Northern California were just convicted in a brutal kidnapping and robbery case that shocked Southern California — they snatched a businessman, zip-tied him, taped his face, and demanded $100K plus jewelry, even threatening his family. A botched attempt to rob his home was foiled by his wife’s security footage, leading to their eventual escape and the victim’s rescue. Two accomplices had already pleaded guilty, and now Franklin, Hawkins, and King face life in federal prison after a seven-day trial — a chilling reminder that justice is coming for these violent criminals.
