Description
The defendant has been convicted of escape in the second degree. He claims that Criminal Term erroneously excluded evidence which he was prepared to submit in the form of testimony which would have substantiated his defenses of justification and duress. In short, the defendant argues that his evidence would have shown the escape was motivated because of threats on his life made by prison guards and other inmates, and because conditions in the prison were intolerable, thus vitiating the criminal intent which is an essential ingredient of the crime of escape in the second degree.
