About this listen

In 1999, Scott Falater’s murder trial turned into a high-stakes battle of science and belief, as expert witnesses clashed over whether he was awake or sleepwalking when his wife was killed. In this episode of Night Watch, we explore the neuroscience behind sleepwalking, its possible genetic roots, and the testimony that shaped the jury’s decision. From brain scans and psychiatric diagnoses to Scott’s emotional statement in court, this chapter examines grief, responsibility, and the terrifying question of whether violence can occur without conscious intent.
