Duress is defined as making someone do something against his will, or making someone perform an illegal act, by using threats, coercion or other illicit means. An example of duress is when you torture a prisoner until he confesses.
For duress to qualify as a defense, four requirements must be met: 1  The threat must be of serious bodily harm or death. 2  The threatened harm must be greater than the harm caused by the crime. 3  The threat must be immediate and inescapable. 4  The defendant must have become involved in the situation through no fault of his own.
