Imagine You Are a Defense Attorney for an Accused Terrorist

Imagine you are a defense attorney for an accused terrorist. The woman you are defending walked into a crowded mall, strapped with explosives. The explosives did not detonate, and upon her apprehension, she confessed that the reason she was to blow herself up is that she had terminal brain cancer and the organization who recruited her promised to take care of her infant son for his entire life. Write an opening argument before the judge that utilizes the work of Gilligan, Bandura, and neuroscientists.
