The Legal Implications of Mental Health and Witchcraft in Criminal Cases

I was closely following the trial sessions of the woman from Faqous, who was accused of killing her son, dismembering him, and eating parts of his body. It is undoubtedly a tragic crime, and there is no way it could have been committed by a normal person.

What is the issue, and why did the court acquit the defendant despite her detailed confession of the crime and the evidence against her that left no room for doubt?

In short, she did commit the crime, but she was in a state of mental incapacity. Therefore, at the beginning of the sessions, the court had her examined by a five-member committee to assess her mental health. The report presented by the committee in the last session revealed that the woman suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and that she committed the crime out of fear that her son might die from poison or be killed, as she later claimed.

However, I have an important observation. During the session discussing the committee's report in court, the woman screamed, as some news websites reported: "I'm not crazy, you want to ruin my reputation, I've been cursed!"

In fact, I believe this woman's story, and I also believe the report of the five-member committee. Both are true, and there is no contradiction between them.

It is possible that the woman was afflicted by a curse, witchcraft, or possession – may God protect us all – and that the jinn instructed her to do this to her son, convincing her that it was for his benefit and that they were protecting him from being killed, as she later claimed during the investigation.

I have many examples of strange crimes that have occurred, and the only explanation for them is that they happened as a result of the commands of the jinn. One example is a girl who jumped from the fourth floor because the jinn convinced her that she would fly into the sky and would not be harmed. Unfortunately, she fell and died, and the jinn caused her death by her own hand.

There are other strange crimes where the jinn were the cause, but I cannot mention them to protect the privacy of my clients.

The woman's story is true, and one of the effects of this kind of magic is the development of both psychological and physical disorders, such as the obsessive-compulsive disorder mentioned in the committee's report. We ask God for health and well-being for all of us.

There are many criminal, hateful people who pay money to enjoy torturing others, but the real criminal in this case is the person who cursed her, caused her harm, and ultimately led to the death of her innocent child. He is the one who will bear the burden of this child's blood and will face God's judgment on the Day of Judgment.

I ask the Almighty, Lord of the Throne, to take vengeance on anyone who resorts to magic, sorcerers, or witches to harm others out of hatred, malice, or envy over what others possess.
