If I don't remember it, it didn't happen.

Do you think it's right to be angry at someone for something they don't remember? Let's look at it on a larger scale than drunken shenanigans though. Let's say someone kills someone and genuinely can't remember it, is it right to punish them?

I mean you could say that the person is a danger to society and would probably kill again, but I mean he/she's not guilty of a crime in his/her reality. If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, does it make sound?

If you were on trial for the murder of your best friend, you can't remember how or why you would kill your best friend. Do you deserve the same as any other murderer?

Hmm... this is a hard one. From one stand point, you could be convicted because though you don't remember it, you still did the crime. On the other hand, well... I have no opinion for the other side. You did the crime, whether or not you remember it or not. That's like when you tell your girlfriend you didn't hear her mention to you *insert woman bitchy complaint her*, she still told you. You just didn't pay attention. So, yes, you could still be convicted of a crime even if you don't remember it.

The question isn't could you be punished though. ;)

Most people assume anyone who has made it to trial is a liar anyway...so,I don't think a jury would buy it even if it was true.
Oh and a tree does make a noise no matter what.
But it doesn't make a noise if YOU don't hear it.
If someone was shot at 3pm and you didn't witness it,they were still shot at 3pm:D

I think it all depends on the situation. If it can be proven that it was a result of a mental illness then you should be put in a mental hospital. If it's proven to be ''crime of passion'' or temporary insanity then I guess the punishment should be slightly leanient. If it's proven to be self defense then you should get off. For any other reason, you should be killed.

Why do none of these posts have to do with anything? :( I'm not asking your stance on murder.

I'll try another: No witnesses, one dead person and all the evidence to lock you away. You don't remember anything, nor do you know why you'd kill this person. DO you think you deserve the same punishment as any other murderer?

That's soooo not the same. :p

My post applies to the question...

you said ''enough evidence to put you away'',whatever the evidence proves you should get the same punishment as any other person would in that particular situation.
