sdavies Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 *Squirrels that one away for a rainy day*... jees. I am sure I would accept that as a valid excuse for someone climbing on my daughter for a romp while she yelped NO! Erm... if he knew he was prone to that sort of behaviour, shouldn't he be seeking help? I would like to see evidence of him recognising his problems (if previous evidence of behaviour is being used in evidence for his defence) and seeking professional help, not some testimony from his missus that he fondled her bits whilst sleeping! (another *yeah roight* moment). A bit of a step up from peeing in the cupboard methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Juries will believe most things if you have a good barister & can use big words. What's next? Murderomnia? Terroisomnia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I am not sure if I have w@nksomnia or not!! I find it worrying that this is accepted by anybody, nevermind a jury!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I've heard of it before. I imagine if he'd had enough to drink at the party that would account for the memory black out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil tt Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Sounds like a good idea:) There seems to be far to may people getting away with this kind off thing. Just seems to matter how much you can afford for a lawyer:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 That was one of the cases Lin was offered when she had to do jury service a few weeks ago. She turned it down and opted for a plain old ABH case instead. When she finished I asked if they'd found the guy guilty or not. She said "I'm not sure I'm allowed to say yet because he hasn't been sentenced yet." Bless her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Watched a Discovery channel programme a few weeks ago where a guy murdered both his inlaws whilst sleep walking. He drove from his house to theirs and woke up the inlaws all whilst sleep walking. The story goes that they tried to wake him and he got violent (common if sleep walkers are woken suddenly) he started to strangle his father in law, the mother tried to stop him by getting a kitchen knife, but the guy turned the knife on them both. There was a long family history of sleep walking, his grand father use to cook in his sleep and other family members sleep walked as well. He was cleared of murder by the jury. The programme made a convincing case for how the guy could have done all these things whilst technically he was still asleep (even though his eyes were open).

neil tt Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I'm sorry, but if someone has a problem like that, lock the bugger in a room at night, then they can't hurt anyone:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRASUZUKI Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 IF he realy is suffering from this condition he should be locked away to prevent it happeing again. I'm afraid I'd feel compelled to pop round and 'have a chat' with him if it was my daughter involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Seriously though, they must have to impose some kind of preventative action on him? Like some kind of alarm that will wake him up to stop him doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 perleeese!! If he had a history of this going back a considerable time, why wasnt/isnt he on medication? It seems that seemingly implausible medical conditions are treated plausibly in court and an excuse for, literally, getting away with murder! castrate the lying b@stard I say ....oh, and while they're at it bring back hanging!!
