This case report describes a young man with a 47, XYY karyotype who was convicted of arson. He suffered from a cardiac disorder which may well have been part of the XYY syndrome rather than a chance association. His abnormal karyotype was disclosed in court and used by the defence in a plea in mitigation.

Epileptic automatism is now believed to be a rare disorder, and only a very small number of cases have been described (Knox, 1968; Gunn and Fenton, 1971; and Gunn, 1978) in which aggressive behaviour has occurred during automatism. There are important legal issues involved if a serious crime is committed and insane automatism is given as the defence.
