irresistible impulse test

Read a random definition: malicious mischief

A quick definition of irresistible impulse test:

The irresistible impulse test is a way to determine if someone is not guilty of a crime because they were not in control of their actions due to a mental illness. If someone can prove that they could not resist the urge to commit a crime because of their illness, they may be found not guilty by reason of insanity.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The irresistible impulse test is a legal defense used in criminal cases where the defendant claims that they were unable to control their actions due to a mental disease or defect. If the defendant can prove that they could not resist the impulse to commit the crime, they may be found not guilty by reason of insanity.

Example: John suffers from schizophrenia and has been off his medication for several weeks. He believes that his neighbor is plotting to kill him and decides to break into his neighbor's house to protect himself. During the break-in, John kills his neighbor. At trial, John's defense team argues that he was unable to control his actions due to his mental illness and that he should be found not guilty by reason of insanity under the irresistible impulse test.

Explanation: In this example, John's defense team is using the irresistible impulse test to argue that he should not be held responsible for his actions. They are claiming that John's mental illness made it impossible for him to resist the impulse to break into his neighbor's house and commit the crime. If the court agrees with this argument, John may be found not guilty by reason of insanity.

@MrThickRopes: Careful Mr. ThickRopes. I once wrote a love letter to a girl and it was used against me in court. Best not to tell women how you really feel about them. Might get accused of Rape. Oh my God I am so Horny. Haven't fucked in 6 years now. Man oh man!
^^^^^^^^^ Imagine that shit gets presented in court and your boomer judge who doesn't understand A.I. does not surpress it. Good god!
I thought about this more. You know, if you were still in high school. The time it is easiest to start a relationship, I would say yes. Tell her how you feel. Any woman post undergrad though, nah don't risk it. Wait to see how she turns out as a person at 25 at the very minimum. You probably dodged a bullet.
