Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: F.2d 832, 835 (2d Cir.1983) (noting duress defense "raises broad philosophical issues concerning the nature of voluntary action for purposes of criminal responsibility and the appropriate conditions for holding a person morally blameworthy"; further noting disagreement among state jurisdictions regarding the relation of mens rea and duress). We consider this exposition of the defense compelling and one that we will adopt in this appeal. {13} We also note that we have not uncovered any extrajurisdictional support for Lucero or the State's argument in this appeal. Even State v 107 (1983) (necessity is a defense to DWI); State v. Olson, 79 Or.App. 302, 719 P.2d 55, 57 (1986) (choice of evils defense available to DUI defendant); State v. Riedl, 15 Kan.App.2d 326, 807 P.2d 697, 699 (1991) (<HOLDING>). Also, see generally Michael J. Yaworsky,
