Talk:Matrix defense

Untitled
Should this be moved to a different title? The Matrix defense, Matrix defense, "The Matrix" defense? Is that last even possible? Rmhermen 13:48, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)

Should NOT be deleted
No citations, and available case law (Westlaw) shows that "the matrix defense" was never accepted; but was rather indicative of paranoid schizophrenia or some other underlying pathological condition that could potentially negated culpability. As such it is not a legal defence, or even a factor that mitigates culpability but an expression of a serious mental condition and as such, there is no need to retain it, except perhaps as a footnote for an insanity plea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.146.119.9 (talk) 18:23, 25 December 2010 (UTC)


 * So why the NOT?--Jack Upland (talk) 23:29, 23 December 2016 (UTC)


 * the NOT seems to have been inserted by a cheeky IP. While the original IP makes an impassioned argument to delete the article, the subject passes WP:GNG, with coverage in multiple independent reliable sources, and so should be kept. &#8209;&#8209; Yodin T 11:28, 24 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I would suggest a merge.--Jack Upland (talk) 20:56, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
