ICJI 1507 UNCONSCIOUS ACT DEFENSE
A person who commits what would otherwise be a criminal act without being conscious of committing the act is not guilty of a crime.
Evidence has been received which may tend to show that the defendant was not conscious of committing the act for which the defendant is here on trial. If after a consideration of all the evidence you have a reasonable doubt that the defendant was conscious of committing the act at the time the alleged crime was committed, the defendant must be found not guilty.
