Read MoreAutomatism refers to actions that happen involuntarily or due to some external factor. Automatism is not a defence of mental illness. Expert evidence is required to prove this defence.
An involuntary or unintentional action is an action that you could not control. For example, you have a spasm, reflex or a fit.
To rely on the external factor as your defence, it must have been the sole cause of your actions. External factors include:
You cannot argue automatism where your actions were self-induced. For example, you took more than the recommended dose of prescription medication.
The main reason you cannot be suffering from a mental illness and argue automatism, is that a finding of guilty based on mental illness usually leads to the accused person being committed to psychiatric care for treatment of a chronic mental health issue.
A finding of not guilty based on automatism is usually on the basis that an ordinary person cracked under pressure and it is unlikely that the episode will reoccur.
