Criminal Defense: Unconsciousness

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

If you are unconscious while you commit a crime,  California law excuses your actions. This legal defense is applicable to people who, for example, commit criminal acts while

  • sleeping,
  • delirious,
  • suffering from an epileptic seizure, or
  • who are involuntarily intoxicated.

On that note, it is important to understand that if you commit a crime while unconscious or sleeping… but while voluntarily intoxicated… you will still be held criminally liable. The most common example of this is “sleep-driving” while under the influence of Ambien or Lunesta.
