Review

This study delves into a critically important and often overlooked area: the legal protection afforded to embezzlement suspects suffering from amnesia within the Indonesian legal framework. The chosen topic is highly relevant, addressing complex issues at the intersection of criminal law, human rights, and mental health. The research explicitly aims to understand how investigators can prosecute such suspects and to explore relevant legal policies, with a focus on existing legal protections under KUHAP. The abstract clearly states the key finding: despite amnesia, suspects can still be brought to court, necessitating specific legal protections such as being informed of charges, access to legal counsel, interpreter services, and the right to prepare a defense. The stated use of an "Empirical Legal Research Method" suggests an approach grounded in real-world application, which is commendable for such a practical legal challenge. However, the abstract presents several areas where further depth and clarity would significantly strengthen the research. While the methodology is identified as "Empirical Legal Research," the abstract lacks details on *how* this empirical method was applied. For instance, it's unclear whether the study involved interviews with investigators, judges, or mental health professionals, or if it analyzed specific case precedents. Without this detail, the "empirical" claim remains abstract, and the findings appear to primarily rest on a doctrinal analysis of existing KUHAP provisions. Furthermore, while the abstract concludes that existing KUHAP rights offer protection, it does not fully elucidate *how* the research dissects the unique challenges amnesia poses to these rights (e.g., preparing a defense without memory) or propose specific adaptations beyond current provisions. A more robust analysis might explore the practical implementation gaps or the adequacy of current safeguards when a suspect genuinely cannot recall events related to the alleged crime. Despite these points for potential refinement, the study addresses a fundamental question concerning fairness and due process for vulnerable individuals within the criminal justice system. The paper's contribution lies in highlighting the continued prosecutability of suspects with amnesia and underscoring the indispensable role of established legal protections. Future iterations or extended discussions could significantly benefit from a more explicit articulation of the specific empirical data gathered, a deeper exploration into the psychological-legal interface of amnesia and legal capacity, and perhaps comparative analyses with other jurisdictions. Overall, this research lays important groundwork for further discourse and policy development in safeguarding the rights of suspects with cognitive impairments.
