aggravated kidnapping?

It's what the evidence proves as of now. Don't be worried he has a date with Ole sleepy head in Huntsville.

aggravated kidnapping?

Yea, the lawyers love to qualify everything.

Maybe there is something called únaggravated' kidnapping ( Judge, I did not know I was kidnapping her at the time)

[bill1952]

Not to put too fine a point on it, aggravated, in the legal context, infers that the accused committed the crime alleged with the intent of causing serious injury, harm, or death.

The penalties are more severe.

If you and your wife are having an argument and she storms out, and you then follow her outside, grab her and bring her back inside to finish your talk, then you can be charged with simple kidnapping, and possibly, unlawful confinement.

But you weren't out to rape and kill her. (hopefully)

That's the difference.

A charge/conviction for capital murder in Texas requires certain other crimes be associated/committed during the murder ... so the more charges the better imo.
