This has the same vibe as the boat paradox, but this sounds like it could be a cool premise to a psycho pass-esque story.

Logically speaking, the first body would be the one accused. However, if they were put to trial, a similar grounds to an insanity appeal (person wasn't in their right mind) could be made, although not strictly similar. If it could be logically proven that the person inhabiting the first body has absolutely no connection to the person who committed the crime, then they would likely be found not guilty. On the other hand, the person in the second body could be charged at most with being an accomplice in the murder. That's just my two cents though.

This is the same type of question as: if a boat is repared whole, is it still the same boat?

Does the person with the criminal's personality thinks that he is the criminal? Or is it since he has his memories he's like a witness to the crime? 🤔

the mind was the decision maker and the body was only acting without control , if someone behind a drone kill people from 200km away the real culprit is the man behind it not the drone itself . so i would i argue that logically the mind is the problems and the body on its own is not to be blamed .

Sure, you can kill people and then reset your memory to erase the crime xD. If you look it as individual cases then it's different. It's different when you change the minds of these 2 people with each other and not just the memory.

Guys I have a question,
(This stuck in my head while I was having my morning coffee.)
Try to imagen someone comitting a crime and right after that they wipe clean his/her entire mind and copy it into a new person.
Who do you think should be accused?
The person who actually did the crime but doesn’t remember anything thus having a new personality or the person they copied his/her mind into who didn’t comit anything but has the memories and conscious of the person who actually did the crime.
