Note to English homeowners: if you shoot burglars in self-defense you're going to prison, unless you tell the judge that you were sleepwalking.
Let me get this straight:
In England, if you kill an intruder you go to jail. If you murder a family member while "sleepwalking", you are good to go.
I want to take this time to thank God Almighty for allowing me to be American.
actually, this guy was sleepwalking while drunk out of his mind, and now he gets to recouperate in a mental hospital. the guy managed to sleep thru a brutal beating and found a judge who was asleep to hear the case. of course, the most of the country is also asleep, so there is a lot of empthy for the perpetrator.
