Necessity is a principle of law. One explanation given for the law of necessity is that of a man convicted to be hung by the neck until dead. If the guards open the cell door and he voluntarily walks to the gallows when he could as well have turned and walked in the opposite direction he is deemed to have consented ... essentially meaning he suicided himself.

Another point. You never walk into a courtroom shackled. You get carried in. And if you are not shackled you don't walk in of your own accord. You turn around and walk (or run) in some other direction.
