Would you murder another family to save your family's life? Does anyone know of any court cases?

Does anyone know of any court cases where a person was coerced into killing another family because they thought that someone was holding their own family hostage until the other family was killed? This is a project for a college course...any help would be beneficial...ThanksWould you murder another family to save your family's life? Does anyone know of any court cases?
A quick few searches on google turned up no results, I'm sorry to say.





To answer the original question: Of course..who wouldn't? Family is #1, and I would quickly and painlessly kill another family to save my own. I've got a wife who I've been with since High School 13 years ago, I've got a 9 year old gorgeous daughter....it's a family I can't live without.





I might be haunted by the demons of the event...I might never be the same again..but yes I would kill to save my own family.Would you murder another family to save your family's life? Does anyone know of any court cases?
Sounds like a rather poor John Grisham novel.


Hard to imagine circumstances where that would happen.


I know that bank official's families have been held hostage until the bank vault was opened for robbery, but murder by proxy? No.
Sure I'll help.





I'll kill any animal, mineral or vegetable that tries to harm my family.


If they happen to wear a badge, I consider it a favor to society.
