| Sumario: | Mental condition defenses have been used in several high-profile and controversial criminal trials in recent years. In this work, the author offers a detailed critical analysis of those defenses within British Criminal Law where the accused relies on some form of mental abnormality as a source of defense. Topics covered include: the defences of automatism, insanity, diminished responsibility, and infanticide; self-induced incapacity; the doctrine of fault; and unfitness to plead. |
