Per Curiam SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
PATRICK GLEBE, SUPERINTENDENT, STAFFORD
CREEK CORRECTIONS CENTER v.
JOSHUA JAMES FROST
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED
STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
No. 14–95 Decided November 17, 2014
PER CURIAM.
Over 11 days in April 2003, respondent Joshua Frost
helped two associates commit a series of armed robberies
in the State of Washington. In the main, Frost drove his
confederates to and from their crimes. On one occasion, he
also entered the house being robbed. On another, he
performed surveillance in anticipation of the robbery.
Washington charged Frost with robbery and related
offenses. Taking the witness stand, Frost admitted to his
involvement, but claimed he acted under duress. As clos-
ingarguments drew near, however, Frost’s lawyer ex-
pressedthe desire to contend both (1) that the State failed
to meet its burden of proving that Frost was an accomplice
to the crimes and (2) that Frost acted under duress. The
trial judge insisted that the defense choose between these
alternative arguments, explaining that state law prohi-
biteda defendant from simultaneously contesting the ele-
mentsof the crime and presenting the affirmative defense
of duress. So Frost’s lawyer limited his summation to
duress. The jury convicted Frost of six counts of robbery,
one count of attempted robbery, one count of burglary, and
two counts of assault.
The Washington Supreme Court sustained Frost’s con-
viction.It rejected the trial court’s view that state law
prohibited Frost from simultaneously contesting criminal
liability and arguing duress. State v. Frost, 160 Wash. 2d
765, 773–776, 161 P. 3d 361, 366–368 (2007) (en banc).

I'd have thought it was obvious. If Dadarian is a wolf, you get to see whom he's willing to jump to and if any packmates try to rescue him by joining that switch. Actually a pretty good tactic, if you ask me.
