Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Edie can claim duress as a defense as she was forced to commit the theft under threat of violence by Diane. Duress is a defense where a person is forced to commit a crime due to a reasonable fear of death or serious injury. Consent, entrapment, and self-defense do not apply in this situation.
