About this listen

(The Queen) R v Dudley and Stephens (1884): This infamous English legal case involved four shipwrecked sailors who, facing starvation, killed and ate the cabin boy. They were later rescued and charged with murder, raising profound ethical and legal questions about necessity and survival. Their moral quandary began after the wreck of the Mignonette left them stranded for weeks.
