There have been sleepwalking defenses in the past. I remember one case where a husband killed his wife and claimed he was sleepwalking, but they proved he wasn’t.

One in three adults have symptoms of insomnia, and around 22% of us sleepwalk, frequently walking with our eyes open.

This is utter BS. No way this is that common. No way.

'Sleepwalking' killer Scott Falater still wracked with guilt over murdering wife

[ClearCase_guy]

Is this about Hunter? What did he do? Has the FBI destroyed the evidence yet?

[Candor7]

If you kill someone in your sleep, are you a murderer? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

No, you have to be proven to have the intent to kill....mens rea.

But proving sleep walking...........almost impossible.

Should probably force him to sleep in jail the rest of his life but let him out during the day

Taking drugs like Ambien i think it is or cymbalta- can’t remember now, will cause a person to do really strange things while sleep walking- like eating frozen food, eating dirt- going out of the house and back without realizing it- etc-

There was a case where i believe the man got off because of having taken the drug and not knowing what he did- supposedly-

What about sleep rape??? Asking for a friend.

What a nightmare.

I only slept walked once as far as I know. It was when I was younger, and I had a whole conversation with someone on the phone. Then I went back to bed and couldn’t remember a thing about it when I woke up. It’s a little disconcerting.

I sleep walked as a young child and once even walked outside. I was on the sidewalk in front of our house and suddenly woke up disorientated. I let out a scream and several neighbors came running out to see what it was. That was the last time it happened.

That number undoubtedly counts those who have *ever* done so, even once, but still seems high.

[budj]

No problem. We can put you back to sleep, and then execute you.

[bitt]

They should just use the Hunter defense: “I was high.”

[DannyTN]

I hate sleep murderers!

[Psalm 73]

Sonds like a great Perry Mason episode.

[AndyTheBear]

Could Biiden use this as a defense for what he’s done in office?

[MayflowerMadam]

I recall one guy DRIVING to his in-laws’ house and murdering his MIL in his sleep. I think he was not convicted.

“around 22% of us sleepwalk”

Maybe in Britain, but not here.
