Topic:

Read DPP v Olcer [2003] VSC 457. Discuss the concepts of sane and insane automatism and explore in what ways the accused’s dissociative state could have been relevant in criminal proceedings if medical evidence persuasively supported on the balance of probabilities that a mental impairment led to a dissociative state. Evaluate the evidential and legal proof for establishing the defence of sane or insane automatism.
