Hunt v. State | 753 So. 2d 609 (2000)
With a gun to her head, a woman shot and killed a man. She claimed that she was only trying to save herself. But could she raise the necessity defense to the subsequent murder charge? The Florida District Court of Appeal addressed this question in the two thousand case Hunt versus State.
Deidre Hunt was working at a pool hall when she started having an affair with the owner, Konstantinos Fotopoulos. Fotopoulos, who was involved in counterfeiting and other criminal activity, believed that his former employee, Kevin Ramsey, was blackmailing him. One day, Fotopoulos, Ramsey, and Hunt went to an old shooting range in the woods. Fotopoulos tied Ramsey to a tree and handed Hunt a gun. Then he aimed an A K Forty-Seven at her head and ordered her to shoot Ramsey. Hunt obeyed, shooting Ramsey to death.
At her Florida trial for first-degree murder, Hunt claimed that she only killed Ramsey to avoid being killed herself. Accordingly, Hunt asked the trial court to instruct the jury on the necessity defense. The trial court refused to give the instruction, and the jury convicted Hunt as charged. She appealed to the Florida District Court of Appeal.
