Mrs. Cogdon went to sleep. She dreamed that "the war was all around the house," that soldiers were in her daughter Pat's room, and that one soldier was on the bed attacking Pat. Mrs. Cogdon, still asleep, got up, left her bed, got an ax from the woodpile outside the house, entered Pat's room, and struck her two accurate blows to the head with the blade of the axe, thus killing her. 

• Relying on a criminal court case from your home state, draft the legal analysis that Mrs. Cogdon's acts do not qualify as actus reus.
• Discuss the facts from that case, the court's reasoning, and its ruling.
• Cases must be obtained from Westlaw.
• Case law citations must be properly formatted and fully embedded within your post.
• Do not provide a citation at the bottom of your post or as a "Reference".
