coercion An act that is committed under physical coercion is not a criminal offence, but mere moral coercion is not a defence. It was common law presumption that a married woman who committed a felony other than homicide in the presence of her husband acted under his coercion and was not guilty of an offence, but this presumption was rebuttable. |
