If for example hypothetically speaking I was to commit an act of grave sinister significance would I or would I not be able to plea temporary insanity. Based on the fact that I, let say did not dispose the body and yet I claim to have lost the ‘plot’ at that particular moment in time by lashing out at the victim.

So imagine this scenario, someone invites me to their home and as the evening progresses words are exchanged I draw the knife and start to pull out my hair as a ‘mad man’. Threatening behaviour pursues, with a struggle being the result of it. The victim runs towards me in an attempt to disarm me what the victim thought was a ‘window of opportunity’, the struggle heightens with both of us falling to the ground and only one getting up.

The victim starts to loose tremendous amount of blood, pint after pint the blood flows out of the left lower body of the victim. As I stand up I see the blood overflowing the carpet, turning everything in its path red. I drop the knife and run out of the front door with blood stains all over my hands and clothes.

So the question is; would I or would I not get away with temporary insanity in the courts?
