Sam,who weighs 250 pounds,calls his 110-pound girlfriend Alice one morning while she is at work.He says,"You are to stay in your office until midnight.If you come to my house before midnight,I will make you sorry that you did." Assuming that Alice usually leaves her office at 5:00 pm but stays until midnight that night because of the threat,if Alice files a false imprisonment case against Sam,a court most likely will find that:
A) there was false imprisonment because Sam's threat forced Alice to stay in the office.
B) there was no false imprisonment because Sam and Alice previously knew one another.
C) there was no false imprisonment because Alice could have left the office and stayed away from Sam's house, and because the threat related to future harm.
D) there was no false imprisonment because Alice's office was not a prison, even though it might have felt like one to Alice.
E) there was false imprisonment only if Alice can prove she reasonably feared Sam.
