body: **Let's say that a person, we'll call him Bob, decides to go out and kill someone. The police hear about the murder, but they can't figure out that Bob was the killer.**
  
  
  A few weeks later, Bob still hasn't been found out. **However, something happens to Bob (could be an accident, stroke, etc) and now he has a severe case of amnesia.**
  
  
  **He doesn't remember that he killed anybody at all, and goes about his daily life after recovering.**
  
  
  The police later discover that Bob committed the murder, and promptly arrest him. **Bob is very confused, and doesn't recall killing anybody.** But yet, he did in fact carry out the murder.
  
  
  **Is Bob guilty of the crime he doesn't remember committing?**
  
  
  *If a location is necessary to answer the question, we'll say that he resides in the United States.*
  
  
  
title: If someone forgets that they committed a crime, are they still guilty?
