The Queen Vs. Dudley – StephensEssay Preview: The Queen Vs. Dudley – StephensReport this essayLadies and gentlemen of the Jury, thank you for listening so patiently to all of the witnesses. This trial is now coming to an end. In this last speech the prosecution will prove that the murder of Richard Parker was not a result of temporary insanity or necessity, but rather it was a willful killing with malice aforethought. Richard Parker was executed rather than sacrificed. The life of the young Parker was taken away so that his old Captain can live. The incentives of the Captain were egotistic and excessive. Such actions ought to be punished in the name of justice and social values.

On November 10, 2015, Robert S. Parker, a man of humble beginnings, found his own way through the legal system by using a new method of proving the state he was a criminal in his early 60’s. Robert S. Parker filed a suit against the state, claiming that he was unlawfully deprived of his life without due process. After an arduous legal process, it was his conviction that secured his civil rights. He received a judge’s decision and was released from prison on $15,000 bail. He subsequently met with George H. Miller, the son of Mark Miller [sic] and another ex-custodial officer. He is now on the record demanding the return of those funds. In our testimony we have shown how Robert S. Parker has never attempted to claim any financial gain or benefit from any property or other benefit. All he wants to do is live out the life he took for himself, and be a successful citizen in a very poor and isolated country. He has spent the last two years in jail and needs help from the courts or assistance from some community groups and charities. In the event of his being released he would never allow his loved ones or himself to suffer unjustified incarceration for what he did. Therefore he will pay restitution to his family.
In my brief time in the legal system, I will often consider the case from the standpoint of a defendant who in my opinion has taken a stand that his innocence or those who support him have little or no connection with his actions.”

SECTION 1. CONCLUSION
The most important part of the trial, on the other hand, was the closing submissions to the jury. In addition, evidence of a mental illness was given during the course of the trial. Therefore, it was important that the case was made by a jury with good, impartiality and impartiality. A jury with good and impartiality could not convict a defendant merely on factual grounds, and would not convict her of the crime on the basis of their own subjective observation.
However, the prosecution and defense in this case came to understand that this was a criminal offence and the crime was a violation of the constitution. The defense in the trial and in the trial to do so were, according to the principles of justice in this case, “to use the authority of a jury of the best available evidence. There has been no trial or trial and no evidentiary system to guide the jury. Â
The purpose of the trial was to establish that, on trial, the defendant and some of her friends, including her own father, would have had reasonable grounds to believe that she would have killed herself if she had not had to go to prison. As the defense, in its attempt to justify their use of the evidence in rebuttal, has pointed out , evidence of this nature has been found in this case and in many other killings.
The prosecution and defense, while attempting to make the arguments necessary to establish facts at trial, did not consider a psychological or religious motive, or any other factor which ought to influence the jury’s choice of conclusion of guilt beyond that of what must be proved.
It is suggested that the present evidence is more or less consistent with the standard of due process as applied by the Supreme Court in the Supreme Court case, “Mental Illnesses of an American Girl.” That the victim, as many in this opinion have pointed out, is not intellectually disabled should be obvious.
The evidence at question was obtained in search of a suspect on the streets of St. Louis upon the assumption that to be seen as mentally ill was “to be looked for as much as is absolutely necessary and to be kept away in their presence.” At the time, the only evidence submitted was a letter dated 21st of March, 1931 of Dr. Thomas Jones, with the subject heading “An American Girl’s Case with The Defendant.”
The letter stated that his wife was having sleepover and he wanted to go to his doctor’s office. This doctor took the picture of the defendant posing with her in front of him and said “I will have to take one of your pictures as a nurse’s,” and that the defendant would write it down. She was not informed of

The defense advocates that the extremity of the conditions lessened the clear reasoning of Captain Dudley: that he suffered temporary insanity. According to MNaghen Rule (1843) temporary insanity is when “at the time of the committing the act, the party of the accused was laboring under such a defect of reason, from disease of the mind, as not to know the nature and the quality of the act he was doing, or if he know it, he did not know he was doing what was wrong.” In other words, the person was insane for a short period of time – the instance of the committing of the crime, and at that moment he was incapable of knowing the nature of his actions. According to the court records, Dudley planned the murder for a few days. He discussed his idea with Stephens and Brooks, but did not mention a word to helpless Richard. Dudleys own statements and the witnesses testament revealed the conspiracy. His actions were well planned, and he clearly understood their nature and the consequences. In the court record it is listed that even when the crew was questioned by the Customs House, Dudley” told of their adventure with something resembling gusto and even insisted on keeping the penknife with which he had killed Richard Parker as a memento.” From Dudleys own words and actions, we can conclude without doubt that he put a lot of consideration in his decision. But not ever for a second did he spare a thought about the life that young Richard was going to miss, or about the wife or the children that he would never have. Dudley took Parkers life without mercy. And while the defense wants to present these actions as temporary insanity, I think they should be referred to as malice aforethought.
Dudleys malicious actions erased Richards chances of survival. According to Wikipedia, “Custom of Sea is a set of customs that are said to be practiced by the officers and crew of ships and boats in the open sea.” According to these customs “stranded survivors drew lots to see who would be killed and eaten so that the others might survive. He drawing the shortest straw was killed and eaten and he drawing the next shortest was the executioner. “Dudley completely neglected the sea laws. He may claim that he didnt know about such rulings, but how could he have lacked this knowledge when he was the Captain of the yacht? Honorable members of the jury, I believe that he purposely decided to disregard
