Necessity
In criminal law, necessity is a possible excuse for breaking the law. Defendants who use this defense are arguing that they should not be held liable for a crime, since the actions taken were, for some reason or other, "necessary". Most common law jurisdictions do not allow this defense to be used in case of murder.
