I saw a show on thirteen world about this topic, it is very interesting.
It should vary from case to case. If someone found evidence of prior hate or bad thoughts and such for the victim of the crime, they should have a some jail time, but even if they commited murder, it is not wise to put them to jail because they were unconcious. If you can prove that they were concious that in fact changes everything. Judges should handle this with thought. I Disagree with everyone else because subconsious movement may be a sickness.

Sweetie, legally speaking unless a person can back up that unconscious thing with a psychatraic evaluation, their going to be floating a boat filled with holes. If it was drug induced, then legally that will also require an evaluation; if drunk, another evaluation....and the courts will just keep looking for more answers other than that persons self evaluation. Sorry
Just another thought here...in this persons behalf, but drunkeness is the only MAYBE THAT WILL STAND IN COURT; but it can only be used as a one time shot, not for every instance.

Unless you have a personality or physical disorder that prevents you from being aware of your actions -- which would be judged by doctors, lawyers, juries, and judges -- you are responsible for what you do. Unfortunately, if you are unable to control your unconscious behavior, it would not be safe for you to be free in society. So, even if you were not be legally responsible, you would need to be institutionalized until you were deemed no threat to society, if that could ever happen.

Nobody commits any act at all unconsciously. Unless they are unconscious, in which case they do not act, they know that they are doing something and they know what they are doing. If they are really unconscious and they commit any act at all, then they are insane quite extensively.

Sounds like a poor excuse to me!!!
And does their unconscious also perform good deeds or only criminal? (ha!)

Just a second, is this my conscious or unconscious answering this question???
If you did it...you are responsible for it. Period.

If they do it subconciously, they are mentally ill regardless of what other people say... and no, they should not be fully held responsible, but they should get treatment...

Yes, your subconcious holds intent, not control of your muscles, so you are responsible.
