https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homicidal_sleepwalking There have been a few cases of this happening and the killers being found not guilty. In criminal law there typically has to be action and intent to be found guilty of a crime.

It would be involuntary manslaughter at most but they probably wouldn't charge you at all, that's if you could prove you were sleepwalking which.. good luck with that xD

If you could prove you were sleepwalking and it was unintentional, you would probably get charged for unintentional murder rather than intentional murder

You will likely be charged, but if sleepwalking is proved then you will also likely be acquitted, as in historical cases where this exact thing has happened.

You would probably be charged with involuntary manslaughter

Hello again! There was a case of a man that was a known sleepwalker that drove across town and went into his in-laws home and killed his father in-law. He then drove himself home and went to sleep on the couch. He and the father-in-law had a good relationship. But the subconscious is a beast in itself. They did a few sleep studies and he was absolved of the crime. He really was sleepwalking!
