The Court allowed the appeal because the trial judge erred by including an instruction about the defendant's opportunity to avoid the threat (the 'escape' question) which was inappropriate and potentially misleading in a case properly characterized as duress of circumstances; that misdirection rendered the conviction unsafe and required quashing of conviction and sentence.
