You will read the scenario offered below and then decide whether or not the defendant would be criminally liable for murder.

Scenario:

D. Edley, a healthy 40-year-old man, shot and killed, with a handgun that he lawfully possessed, a 70-year-old woman, Ida Hungry, who was pushing a shopping cart full of empty bottles and cans on a public street.

Weathered by years of homelessness, Ida was frail and gaunt. She approached Edley on a crowded street, both hands on the cart, pushed him with the cart against a building, and said to him, "Kiss me or I will kill you.

Edley shook his head no and Hungry responded by growling and pushing the cart harder against his body. Edley shot and killed her.
