In cases of ______ the original violation is considered moot.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Necessity is a defense that can be used when a person commits a crime in order to prevent a greater harm from occurring. In such cases, the original violation is considered moot because the person's actions were necessary to prevent a greater harm. Duress, entrapment, and self-defense do not render the original violation moot, but rather provide a defense for the person's actions.
