Hello,

If one's drink is spiked in a nightclub, and following that one looses his consciousness and goes on to damage a property (below £5000), is one liable criminally? Can one use a defence of automatism (even if the police failed to check one for presence of drugs in his organism at the time of arrest, which followed the crime immediately)?

If one is not conscience, how did they do property damage if they were passed out ?

Next you can always claim this as a defense but you will have to prove someone spiked the drink, since merely being drunk yourself, is not an excuse
