Exercise 14

You are kidnapped by a "U Occupy" group in Washington, D.C. and held hostage because you did not agree with their activities. You are then forced to participate with the U Occupy group in a number of illegal activities in which no one was killed. During your kidnapped period you had no reasonable opportunity to escape. The U Occupy group, including you, are captured by police a short time later, arrested, charged with certain crimes, and held for trial. What defense might you use to avoid being convicted?
