Should Mr Kitson have been convicted?

Ok then.

How's this then?
Necessity is a defence that is only available in civil cases and only exists in theory for criminal cases. Judges are reluctant to allow the necessity and so to create a filler/ replacement, duress of circustances was created.

I believe that Kitson should not have been convicted and if the case happened today, then he would have had the defence of duress of circumstances.

I didn't realise how old the thread was I posted.
