What is meant by the Legal Maxim “non compos mentis”?
A body recovered from crime scene which is not fully decomposed.
Not in possession of one’s mind
Not in a good frame of mind
Body not in a decomposed state of condition.
Not having mental capacity to perform some legal act.
These words signify not of sound mind, memory, or understanding. This is a generic term, and includes all the species of madness, whether it arise from, , idiocy , sickness , lunacy or , drunkenness.
For example, non-compos mentis might have been used as a defence if a man, who had been seen with violent mood swings, and had withdrawn from his social interactions, committed suicide. People – and more importantly the law – might have attributed the man’s odd behaviour to possession. In such a case, the man’s wealth would be distributed in the normal probate procedure.
