completely missing/lacking Explanation: Due to the impairment of his mental responsibility for his acts, his rational is completely missing/lacking in doing or being a party to the killing. This person doesn't have the normal mind, therefore, he doesn't know what is right and what is wrong and cannot judge whether his being party to the killing is a right thing or wrong thing. |
