Misalnya, dalam kasus korupsi terdakwa GR, hakim menjatuhkan putusan dengan menggunakan Pasal 5 ayat (1) huruf b Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2001 tentang Perubahan atas Undang-Undang Nomor 31 Tahun 1999 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi. Majelis hakim menilai, terdakwa terbukti memberikan suap terkait kenaikan jabatannya di pemerintahan kabupaten Cirebon kepada Bupati Cirebon saat itu. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa majelis hakim tidak tepat ketika memutus Putusan Nomor 119 / Pid.Sus-TPK / 2018 / PN.Bdg karena menggunakan Pasal 5 ayat (1) huruf b. Sebagai gantinya, seharusnya hakim menjatuhkan putusan dengan putusan bebas dari semua tuntutan hukum terhadap terdakwa karena perbuatannya memberikan uang adalah karena terpaksa menuruti keinginan SP sebagai atasan GR. Dengan demikian, tindakan GR memiliki alasan yang cukup untuk mendapatkan penghapusan pidana.Kata kunci: suap; paksaan; bebas dari semua pungutan.
