I have a very hard time buying into these sleeping defenses.

I heard a case that a diabetic man killed his wife and does not remember a thing and that medically it is possible.

I’ve been hoping my wife comes down with a bad case of sexsomnia. Oh those fantastic sleepless nights...

total bs......we don't let drugged or drunk drivers off sky free when they kill someone with their cars....

but its different if someone says he had a "nightmare"????

so don't execute him...but give him some jail time to show the next guy who pulls this excuse that the law won't be so lenient......

its like the guy who was using the cell phone, speeding, lost control of his car, did a 180 , went up the other side of the highway and crashed head on into a truck with 5 kids in it.....all 5 kids DIED...

his excuse....he had a coughing spasm that knocked him out momentarily....and the jury bought it....funny, you think if one is capable of being knocked out from a coughing spasm that driving priviledges would be restricted..nope, not him....free as a bird...

Whatever happened to the old guy who dreamed a deer was goring him and tried to break his wife’s neck?

Since he had a mental disorder and things like this had happened before according to the article, I can see letting him off. It’s completely different than killing someone while driving drunk.

I wonder if there was a history of abuse prior to him killing her...

That story reminded me back when my wife and I started living together years ago. I had a dream I was in a fight or something and I ended up kicking her several times before she was able to wake me up.

I once dreamed that there was an armidillo in the bed, I grabbed it and dumped it on the floor. My wife always went to bed with a bunch of hair curlers installed, it wasn’t my fault!
