No Necessity Defense

We reported previously on an activist who had bid nearly $2 million on federal Bureau of Land Management leases that he did not have.  The NYT is reporting that he will not be allowed to claim that he acted out of necessity to protect the environment from climate change as a defense.  The activist is being charged with felony counts of making false statements and interfering with an auction.
