SECTION 9. PROCEEDINGS IN FIRST INSTANCE COURT

CHAPTER 45. ADOPTING THE VERDICT

Article 361. Discussion of the defendant's imputability

When during investigation, preliminary investigation or court trial the issue of the defendant's imputability has arisen and the issue of feeling responsibility for his actions, on which occasion a medical and mental examination was appointed, the court must discuss that issue again when adopting the verdict.
Finding that the defendant was in the imputable state at the moment of performing the actions, or after committing the crime he became mentally ill, which deprived him of the capacity to be responsible for his actions, the court adopts an appropriate decree.
