Trying to be good.
Have you guys heard of situations where people commit murder during their sleep? I remember watching a news special a while back about a man who sleep walks. One night he murdered his -in-laws during one of his sleepwalking episode, but when he woke up the next morning he did not remember a single thing that he did. His lawyers' defense was that he had no control over his act so he shouldn't receive maximum punishment. But prosecutors claimed that subconcious acts are results of concious meditations or thoughts.
Do you think that his lawyers have a good defense? At the time I watched the special, I thought the lawyers were just looking for a bunch of BS. But now that I understand more about psychopathology I'm believing that it is possible for him to have no recallection of the event. Now I don't know which side to support, because on one hand he did physically commit the crime, but on the other he had no control over it.
