Document Summary
In france, under the roman legal system, the prosecutor (judges) runs the investigation through the police directly at different levels of the law. In north america, the police run the investigation. Disease of the mind might as well be considered a defense. What about automatic behaviour: we spend a third of our lives sleeping, some people suffer from severe sleep disorders. Man was married and had a sleep disorder he walked in his sleep. One night he got up, got the keys to the car, started the car and drove. 30 miles to his parents in laws place. His father in law came down and his mother and law and he stabbed them both. He woke up after he stabbed them: sleep disorder experts were brought in. A judgement that has to be legally determined as relevant to the case: it was judged that he did suffer from not knowing what he was doing.
