Re: Guilt without knowledge

If you are interested in how to handle this in a story then you could do worse than take a look at Neal Asher's The Skinner in which one part of the storyline deals specifically with this issue, where the crimes are more in the nature of horrific crimes against humanity, but the perpetrator has no memory of it (and has suffered terribly). However the "justice system" that judges him in this case is a very informal one.
