Allen hаs recently becоme friends with Cаde аnd Jake. Allen isn’t cоmfоrtable with their involvement in criminal activities, but he thinks that they are cool and values being friends with them. When Cade and Jake tell Allen that they are going to do an armed robbery of a jewelry store and need his help, Allen reluctantly agrees. Allen’s job is to walk in and hand the storeowner a note stating, “If you don’t do anything stupid, we will let you live.” Then the other two will come in and complete the robbery. Just before Allen is supposed to enter the store, he changes his mind and tells Cade and Jake that he is “out” and won’t do it. Cade then holds a gun to Allen’s head and says, “You better read that note yourself.” Still shaking, Allen enters the jewelry store and hands the store owner the note. As Cade and Jake rush in, however, the burglar alarm goes off. All three run out, but they are soon apprehended. Does Allen have a valid defense of duress (to a charge of attempted armed robbery) under the Model Penal Code (MPC § 2.09)?
