Example wrong choices
18500_naomi-scattered-flock · CRIMINAL · Choice BNo offense, because Bartholomew voluntarily placed the silver
Why it's attractive
Applies common-sense 'voluntary' rather than the legal test. A transfer made under a wrongful threat is coerced — not voluntary in the sense that negates criminal liability.

18500_naomi-scattered-flock · CRIMINAL · Choice CRobbery, because Bartholomew acted out of fear

Robbery requires immediate force or intimidation in the victim's presence. The threat was future; Naomi was miles away. Extortion is the governing doctrine. Defeated by GK-CRIMINAL-EXTORTION-01.

18500_naomi-scattered-flock · CRIMINAL · Choice DLarceny only, because Naomi physically collected the silver from the stump
Why it's attractive
