      I'm going to change this into a harder question: There's a drug that causes anterograde amnesia that keeps you from forming long-term memories while you're on it A guy who wants to commit a violent crime deliberately takes the drug so he won't live with the guilt of doing ithttps://twitter.com/GailSimone/status/1315510372275613697 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      Gail Simone @GailSimone
      A man commits a murder. During the police chase to catch him, he crashes his car, has a traumatic brain injury and goes into a coma. When he wakes up, he remembers nothing of his previous life, and reveals zero violent tendencies. You’re on the jury. Would you imprison him?

      You find out that this drug forms a pathological addiction cycle with many people with disordered, impulsive behavior -- the natural system of "regret" we have that keeps us from acting in hot blood on violent urges can be short-circuited with this drug

      And, because people have *seen* your answers to Gail's question and know that you have a tendency to say "If he doesn't remember doing it then it's like he's a different person", deliberately take the drug for this reason, as a moral defense

      Because when you're fucked up and you're really mad at someone all you care about is that they get the shit beat out of them, not the satisfaction of remembering that you did the beating The drug giving you a mind-wipe and letting you expiate your guilt is all upside

      People deliberately start whole communities, subcultures around taking a Jekyll and Hyde potion so Mr. Hyde can come out and do the things you really want to do and Dr. Jekyll can argue with a straight face he's not responsible for any of it

      (Psst drugs like this really exist, with varying degrees of effectiveness, and are used for this purpose all the time It may not be the *best* such drug but the oldest and cheapest one is called alcohol The culture around getting drunk to hurt people is thousands of years old)

      It's a big question, isn't it There's the whole thing about reading a news story from the 1920s about a guy who drove a car through a storefront and killed a bunch of people, but his lawyer got it pled down to a lesser crime Because everyone saw he was extremely drunk

      although if this drug is used for NOTHING but creating this very specific defense, it seems like proving the defendant intentionally took the drug would become the important question

      I had this conversation so many times in college "I know you didn't mean to do that shit when you were drunk, but you DO do it EVERY TIME you get drunk, and that means that, when you're sober and you start drinking and YOU KNOW THAT, that it was a sober decision"

          Man, I'm still having that conversation with people in their 60's here. Ireland has not managed to deal with habitual alcoholism as much as it likes to pretend.

          Yeah, this is the thing for me. If you have effectively a serial killer who doesn't remember their serial killing... They're still a serial killer. And presumably willingly taking the drug. At *best*, force them into rehab. At worst, life in prison. Depends on the specifics.

          That was one of Dexter's targets in the TV show. Never intended to kill anyone, but kept getting into a car drunk.

          Aside from the punishing of bad acts it’s also legitimate to look at justice issues from the perspective of defending the public from harm, and there too “I was drunk” fails as a defense without a commitment to sobriety.
