So, let's go over the main defenses, and show why they all fail.

Entrappment:There were no police back then! This is impossible! Duress:It couldn't have been known that such a thing was possible, because as I said, if it was known, the war would have started earlier. So what purpose would anyone have to put them under duress? Neccessity:For what, anyways? If it wasn't known that you gained great power for doing this, then taking the SOUL isn't going to help any more than it hurt. Provocation:What exactly COULD have provoked a reasonable person into absorbing a SOUL? Insanity:Okay, now we're grasping at straws. And since insanity has to be proved by the defense, and not the prosecution, this defense isn't valid. Diminished Capacity:So, what happened anyways? By the way, putting yourself into that situation doesn't count. Self-defense:Once again, no way of knowing it would give them the power to stay alive.
