Foundations of Law I

Necessity

Most jurisdictions do not recognize necessity as a defense to a crime.

• John 15:13

  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

• Proverbs 6:30–31

  Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
  31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
