hmmm- most criminal jurisprudence systems (at least in the Anglo-Saxon -English speaking- world) recognize the concept of diminished responsibility or extenuating cicrumstances(abusive childhoods, mental defect or domestic violence)in cases of criminal conduct(including murder), but possession(by an outside entity) is a new one. The Church to which Matt Murdock belongs to( Catholic, although this is not usually alluded to in the story), recognizes the possibility of demonic possession but it would be a millennial(no pun intended) milestone if the State's criminal justice system acknowledged such a thing! After all judges and lawyers are NOT intended to be theologians!
