What would happen?

Ok imagine the scenario, a man had gone on a killing spree while he was suffering from temporary insanity and while he is on his way to the court house the van he is in has a car crash and suffers from Amnesia and completely forgets everything he has done.



What would happen as he would have no memory of what he had done and in his mind he would be completely innocent.What would happen?
As a member of society, he is completely responsible for all acts against humanity (or that society). Though it is unfortunate that he is now "innocent" and that whatever area of the brain has been "fix for his previous crimes, he is still responsible for them. Why? First, the act has been committed. His having a car wreck doesn't also erase what happened to the victims. They are still the victims, and society should attone for them. Secondly, the individual's becoming "fixed" is absolutely irrelevant! The fact of the matter is that it was his mind that was present to commit acts against humanity. It was NOT his decision to have the car accident, so therefore it should not even be considered. The accident did not cause the murders, so it is not way related to the individual. IF he did not have the accident, he would still be held accountable for his actions. The only thing that should be considered/argued is the "temporary" insanity he experienced at the time of the murders. The point is: He is still guilty of murder with or without the accident.
He would probably forget that he was on his way to the court house.What would happen?
The test of an insanity defense is would be be able to assist council. The answer would be no, so he would have to plead temporary insanity.

Wouldn't matter. He'd be convicted on circumstantial evidence - no matter if he had memory of what he'd done or not.What would happen?
Having no memory of a crime doesn't mean it was never committed.
