Rule 113, while implying that forfeiture usually is a choice, does not appear to indicate that a person may not be forced to do it. The only thing it seems to imply is that you cannot prevent a person from doing it. Therefore, if a person is forced to forfeit, they have forfeited, and I judge this case TRUE.
