Page points a knife at Ray's daughter, threatening to hold her hostage and "cut" her unless Ray takes a certain file from Skelte
r Supplies Corporation, his employer. Charged with theft, Ray can successfully claim as a defense:_______.a. insanity. b. duress.
c. entrapment.
d. self-defense.
Ray can claim duress in a court of law since he was held under duress by Page to "steal" the file from Skelter Supplies Corporation which would have not been the case if he was not(held under duress by holding his daughter hostage). This is synonymous to claiming self defense since it all works by the condition that " if it hadn't been.. ". Rationale being that Ray would not be considered a thief here since he was trying to save his daughter's life and was held under duress to take the file.
