A gang leader held a gun to a courier's head and ordered him to shoot an innocent store clerk, saying, "If you do not shoot him now, I will kill you." The courier shot and killed the clerk. The courier is charged with murder and raises duress.
Under the traditional common-law rule, which statement is most accurate?

Choose the Best Answer

Duress is the same defense as voluntary intoxication. Duress applies only if the defendant created the dangerous situation on purpose. Duress is a complete defense to every crime if the threat was serious enough. At common law, duress is not a defense to the intentional killing of an innocent person, even if the defendant acted under a threat of death.
