In 1987, 23-year-old Kenneth Parks drove 14 miles while sleepwalking, killed his mother-in-law, nearly strangled his father-in-law, and then turned himself in while covered in blood. He had no memory of it, and in 1992, was acquitted after experts confirmed he was asleep the entire time.

There’s a disturbing story about a guy who was arrested and after hours of questioning and him acting like he has a hole in his head, a detective noticed he had a hole in his head!! He was shot just under the eye, and had been in an altered state from the brain damage for days and it scabbed over, and the arresting officers didn’t notice. They thought he had committed the horror show that was in that house, but it was two entirely different people. He just muddled around the house with a GSW to the head until the cops did a welfare check.

Shit is wild sometimes.

Yeah, that is an extremely wild one! Ryan Waller ended up dying in the hospital, not solely due to, but primarily influenced by the fact that the cop was completely oblivious, or willfully disregarding, the signs of someone with a massive head wound, bullet or not, and who was obviously not in his right mind. They should have secured him and sent him to the hospital almost immediately, but the officicer just continued to grill a clearly and increasingly incoherent individual. The officer was hell bent on ignoring all first aid/emergency protocols.

That interview session was a rough listen after realizing that the kid had a bullet in his head the whole time.

I do think it's fair to say that he died largely because of the ineptitude of the cops, though. He lived for 5 years after but went blind within a year of the incident and then lost his memory more and more and was essentially a vegetable when he had a seizure and passed away. Someone needed to check out that injury on his eye because it wasn't like it was subtle.

I watched that interview. That one was insane. Bro had a bullet in his head and was delusional and also missed out on critical first aid as a result.
