Question
how much time would a person get?

Answer
Donya

Almost impossible for anyone to say because of the variances between each state.  Each State has their own sentencing guidelines and penalties.  I can tell you that Kidnapping and Armed Robbery are normally maximum life penalties.  A lot will depend on the persons criminal history.   If convicted i would suspect that defendants would get some serious time.  There are a lot of variables in each of these crimes.

Sorry I can't be more specific.
