This is a strange one for sure. Should the 14 year old be tried as an adult? Is sleep walking a defense for murder? And, how easy would it be to cover a deliberate murder with that defense if someone really does suffer from a sleep disorder? Interested to know what others think.
From the article:
"Marina Gudino told 4th Judicial District Judge David L. Shakes that her son should not be punished for their failure to recognize the seriousness of his symptoms. Doctors testified during the week that the boy suffered from sleep disorders, hallucinations and possibly a developing mental illness."
