IOWA CRIMINAL JURY INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Necessity is a defense to the crime of Escape. The Committee takes no position on whether necessity is a defense to any other crime. See State v. Ward 170 Iowa 185, 152 N.W. 501 (1915) (necessity a defense to killing a deer); State v. Walton, 311 N.W.2d 113 (Iowa 1981) (facts did not justify necessity defense to carrying concealed weapon) ................
