Actually there was a case where a man got up from his bed. Went to his car. Drove it (stopping at red lights) through about 3 or 4 intersections. Went to his x wifes place. Shot her. Got back in his car and drove home. Went back to bed.
They said he was sleepwalking.
He got off.
Only in America ;-)
Some people have used DID as a defence (in the US). I don't think that should be allowed. Spend the time in a mental hospital rather than in jail - maybe. But not to get out of time altogether.
The body does the time the body does the crime (to be a bit simplistic).
Just my opinion...
