A mother got a surprise visit from her son, a criminal on the run. Her son asked her to give him her gun so that he could kill a drug dealer who was pursuing him. He told her that the drug dealer would kill him if he did not kill the drug dealer first. The mother, who loved her son more than anything, gave him her gun and a package of bullets. The next day, the son went to another city, found the drug dealer, and shot and killed him. A few days later, the police found the son hiding in a shed in a friend's backyard and arrested him for the drug dealer's murder. They then traced the gun's ownership to the mother and charged her with murder as well. The son was later convicted of the drug dealer's murder.
Can the mother be convicted of murdering the drug dealer?
