How A Man Killed His Roommate While Sleepwalking

Have you ever sleepwalked before? Or do you know someone who has? People can do strange
things as they walk around oblivious to their surroundings in their sleep, but in this bizarre case, you
are going to learn how sleepwalking was used as mitigation in a murder trial. Brook Chantelle
Preston was living her best life, blossoming as a young woman, but her life would be cut short by the
actions of one of her best friends, someone she trusted implicitly.

    Sleepwalking people are not really asleep in the way you are in bed. There have been cases of people driving while sleepwalking, and responding to people, usually incoherently. What's missing is proper reasoning and understanding of their surroundings and what is happening, nobody's home so to speak. Just because something is possible though, doesn't make it true or likely.

You're using simpleton logic, all too common nowadays, where we just react enrage every time somebody gets killed by somebody else and just want somebody to pay for it, without even asking if they were mentally and psychologically responsible in the traditional sense. We just assume that the person who did it is evil and has to be punished, but this guy was messed up on drugs and alcohol and it's hard to say what exactly happened or to what extent he consciously had anything to do with it in his right mind.

    My son is a sleepwalker. It started around the age of 10. When early morning I hear the shower running and it’s my son getting ready for school. The problem was it was 3 AM and School didn’t start until 830 I am that was the first time. One week later I would wake up to find him in the kitchen making macaroni and cheese. I was terrified because he was placing a pot on the hot stove without any water. He could’ve hurt himself or all of us. I didn’t realize he was sleepwalking until he woke up. There are so many other stories. The scariest one is when he tried to go swimming luckily by that time we had alarms on the doors so before he could even make it to the patio we were already outside. He had his swim trunks on a towel in hand and begin asking if we wanted to go swimming with him. It’s a weird thing because they look like they’re awake and they can acknowledge what’s going on but in reality they’re not there consciously It’s beyond scary

    When my older brother was young he’d sometimes sleepwalk ((he was a sleep talker as well which was fun). When we’d visit my grandparents they’d put furniture in front of the door (they lived on a busier street than we did at home) so he wouldn’t get out, and probably slept with one eye open. He never got out as far as I can remember and outgrew it. The weirdest thing he spoke of while asleep was ‘plaid manhole covers.’😂

But the fascinating thing to me was that he had rheumatoid arthritis pretty bad, but was able to get up and move around just fine in his sleep. Anyway, my daughter also sleepwalks. I think in this case it had to be a combination of the drugs/alcohol that ultimately caused the murder even if it was while he was asleep. So he is definitely where he belongs.

    Even if he is being 100% honest, there is still the fact that he was drinking (at least) whenever the murder happened. I highly doubt he would have stayed asleep and remembered nothing while killing someone if he was sober, but the fact that he was drinking a lot on top of having the sleep walking condition might very well have caused him to not remember. Even if that is the case, though, he got the sentence the crime warrants. "I was black out drunk," isn't exactly a mitigating factor in criminal cases, as far as I am aware.

    There are cases of violent sleepwalking crimes. I do recall a case where a husband drove for a while (like 30+ min?) on the highway, all the way to his in-laws place where he brutally murdered them, then iirc drove back home & eventually woke up, bloody and injured and confused. He loved his in-laws & it was believed the crime was unintentional. I can definitely believe this if it was drug/alcohol enhanced sleepwalking + he has a sleepwalking history, which it seems like it does. Add in anxiety, stress, and depression and it's honestly way more likely than you'd imagine.

    i agree with this as well. i don't want to, but people, AS lovers of REAL CRIME, we ALL know true murderers are incapable of producing tears or showing remorse. i think he was LOADED and that may have catalyzed a swift and deep sleep during which he attacked and killed her, even if he tried to make a pass on her in his sleep. the remorse and tears in the interrogation is real. and if he truly loved her as a sibling (beccuz we don't know if there were any sexual advances), this probably incapacitated him because he knows he did it. i say voluntary manslaughter. he made the decision to drink. no motive (only speculation about the advances), but obviously no sexual assault before he killed her. so he should be in prison, but i would say let him out after a mandatory 25 years. 5 years parole after that.

    Very interesting case. His history of crime mainly involves repeated substance abuse which is a sign of lacking self-discipline, but in a self destructing way. He had no history of violence towards others, especially not towards loved ones and there is no sign of a motive at all, so it really surprises me how was this convicted as first-degree murder. I can totally agree with the sleepwalking version, although many people argue that sleepwalking wouldnt occour in a mid-day nap, however, remember he was very hang over and was probably sleeping extremely deep during that short nap. They must have taken his fathers history of violence into account when judging him, portraying him as a psychopath, which actually isnt unlikely that he had underlying psychopathic intentions, unknownst to himself, that might have been acted out during a heavy-hangover sleepwalk. He was clearly heavily remorseful, not worrying about himself or his fate for a moment, but rather mourning the victim. Although its true that responsibilities have to be taken, unless its a case of insanity, which it isnt, so the court must have figured that sleepwalking or not, he needs to take responsibility, but I still think that putting him behind bars for life is mental and emotional torture after a case like this. As for the handling of the investigation, they should have spent much more time on the case before charging him. It wouldnt have been hard to prove if he truly didnt remember anything, and if he really didnt know anything, just start questioning the relatives and friends about him, and they could have figured out there was no motive for it, and maybe even the sleepwalking stuff would have came up earlier, instead of it being used in court as an excuse, which makes it sound less reliable.

I have called people, sleep texted, sleep eat, sleep purchase things. All innocuous (except for the cooking) but who knows what else I couldd do. I'm petrified of things I could do.

You never want to wake up a sleepwalker because they become startled and scared. ( I learned that the hard way ) When I learned my son was sleepwalking he and I spent a night in a hospital for a sleep study. They attached multiple devices to his body allowed him to call a sleep naturally while two specialist monitored him through a one way window. We received some answers but not all I wonder if there were any sleep test performed? The results ?

Several times he has ran out of our apartment and down to his dad's apartment, rven when he wanders back to the apartment he is still completely shaken and confused and he usually doesn't remember how he got in places. He has finally discovered he can hide in the bathroom and I prefer that to him running outside and not even being awake when he does it. He has threatened me in one of these states of mind and he has also grabbed the front of my shirt when I was about to fall asleep and scared the absolute hell out of me. He sleeps in the living room for my safety as he is afraid he will actually hurt me someday.

    How can you sleepwalk after 20 minutes of sleep where you were just awake and talking to people. More likely still intoxicated and groggy from just waking up but still angry at being rejected. They may have had another interaction where he made advances before he killed her. He may “not remember”…but it’s alcohol that caused it, not sleepwalking. He chose to get drunk and then made advances toward her. That was his choice. It doesn’t excuse the outcome where someone was brutally murdered. If that was the case there would be many people excused from murder.

I've woke up to her dragging me out of bed (again in a hotel room, after my other sisters funeral) telling me something was wrong and we had to go. It happened on the way to my sis funeral too, I woke up to her standing at the window and she walked back to the bed and told me there was someone outside at our car. I've woke up to her screaming bloody murder in the middle of the night, she's screamed about dead people in wheelchairs falling on top of her. One of her friends said when they spent the night at her house, she was sleep walking and got out the phone book to call 911, apparently she did call 911 but they didn't even come out to make sure everything was OK, they just took whosever word for it that she was sleep walking, which she was but I think I would have still sent an officer just to make sure (in anyone else's case, most people don't do that).

    I don't believe him.. she didn't fight back? He would've woken up to her fighting for her life. I have blacked out when drunk out of my mind and done things I can't remember to this day, but I've never woken up after having killed someone.. He was high as a kite, tried to advance on her, got rejected and killed her..
