>Someone kidnapped my wife so I stole a car is not a valid legal defense, nor would I argue it is a valid moral defense
Actually it's a very valid legal defense, and if someone stole a car under such situations, and could prove it (that they were blackmailed etc), they would either have been let go, or given a much smaller sentence.
>* As I stated from the get go, I would hold the thief responsible in both situations.*

That's bizarro though. No judge would do that.
