If someone kills someone while sleepwalking are they responsible for the murder?
Since criminal responsibility for murder requires both actus reas and mens rea, the defense of sleepwalking would seem to preclude mens rea (the requisite mental state for the crime to have occurred). On a more legal basis, the argument has been: 'The defendant was not in his normal state of mind when he committed the act. Sleep walking is a parasomnia manifested by automatism; as such, harmful actions committed while in this state cannot be blamed on the perpetrator. In fact, sleepwalking has been used as a defense in both the US and Canada, including the Steven Steinberg case in 1982, the Kenneth Park case in 1987 and the Scott Falater case in 1997.' The argument has been successful at times. Two of the three well know trials for murder while sleep walking ended in acquittal, the other in a conviction for murder. Coincidentally, two of the trials (one conviction, one acquittal) occurred in the Phoenix area, and were tried in the same legal jurisdiction (Maricopa County Superior Court). But sleepwalking as a murder defense date back even farther than that. The first known case of such a defense was back in 1846 when Albert Tirrell was charged with the murder of a prostitute, Maria Bickford and setting fire to a brothel. He claimed he had committed the crimes while sleepwalking, and he was acquitted. See: http://www.lakesidepress.com/pulmonary/S...
Sleepwalking and military?
I have been in the Army for 3 years and just got back from a deployment. During that time I was caught sleepwalking and actually asking for my weapon and another time punching someone. I did this a few other times also but nothing serious happened. I have done this during my child hood and sometimes in my late teens. I came back and had a sleep study done and they said it was due to stress. Well I have recently changed units and my new unit has little knowledge of this and the ones that do think it is a joke. I am not trying to get out of any future deployments although I am not reenlisting either. I do have concerns though if I deploy again. If I take this up higher will I get discharged with only a yr left or maybe put on rear D if we deploy again? Also if I get discharged does anyone know what the statement will say on my discharge papers? I do not want this to limit any future jobs as far as law enforcement go.
Am I going to get discharged for sleepwalking?
Sleepwalking after the age of 13 will disqualify you from the military. Whether or not you will be discharged for it is up to your chain of command. Is it possible to be discharged, YES. You most likely will be too since we can't have you walking off government property. We separated a kid in my unit for same thing.
