Sometimes death is so horrificit changes history. For example, when Jane Mansfield died, car safety came under increased scrutiny and legal mandateswere made to keep it from happening again. In contrast, when a woman namedMaria Bickfordwas horrifically murdered and dismembered, her accused killer'sdefense opened a new kind of legalitythat would, in the future,change the way the accused presented their defense.Albert Tirrell, the Sleepwalking Killer, upended the criminal process by successfully using the first sleepwalking defense. Although the jury was fairly convinced he murdered Bickford, they couldn't convict him because his lawyer successfully argued that Tirrellhadn't been conscious when he did it.Whether or not Tirrellknew what he was doing when he killed his girlfriend Maria Bickford, walking in one's sleep as a defense would soon be legal precedent for the ages. Tirrell and Bickford had a past that raised a lot of questions, however, so the truth of what happened in 1845 remains unclear.
