Fill in the blank using appropriate statement. Non Compos Mentis means ______
Answer: A
Non compos mentis means not of sound mind.
The Latin phrase is used for a person who lacks a sound mind and so cannot understand the nature of his acts, as in the law of insanity.
Lack of the mens rea, inability to know that an act is wrong, and a concussion of the brain are different matters, so the first option gives the plain meaning. The words are Latin for not of sound mind and are used in law for lunatics, whose acts are protected by the exception for unsoundness of mind.
