"Man who killed wife while dreaming is freed"
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/11/20/uk.crime.strangle/index.html
Now I don't know exactly how true this is but I find it a little terrifying! A British man by the name of Brian Thomas was dreaming of an intruder enter his room but in all reality was strangling his wife! In his sleep! What if I accidentally kill someone in my sleep? What if my roommate kills me in her sleep? Okay okay, I know that's unlikely and unreasonable but still, you know the thought flashed through your head. Seeing as all evidence pointed to the truth of his plea, I have to say I'm happy he was released. Hopefully now the dream plea doesn't turn into the new insanity plea; we shall see!

Dear Trisha -
ReplyDeleteI saw your article, then I had a dream. This dream was magnificent. But when I woke up, I had blood on my hands, and there lay my dog, my dad, my aunt, my uncle, my father, my mother, my brother, my sister, my nephew, my great aunt, and worst of all - my hamster. But, thanks to your article, I was able to walk free so I could do it again! Thanks!
