Is it possible for a brain injury to cause a normal person to become criminally inclined?

If so, how?
Answers:
until it can be medically proved that the injured individual behaved rationally before, and since injury is unable to then the law applies criminal insanity
A lot of defense attorneys have tried this ploy but I don't believe it one iota.
Yes it is. There are plenty of examples of brain injuries causing radical behaviour and personality changes, some of them quite bizarre. For examples of the more bizarre ones Oliver Sachs' book "The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat" is fascinating. For more a specific discussion of how brain injury may lead to criminality, have a look at the following source:
Yes, it is definitely possible for a brain injury to cause a normal person to become criminally inclined. For example, a servere car accident that cause the brain to shift in the head that the person can lose mobility senses as well as common senses knowing right from wrong. As a result the doctors would have to prescribe medications to help the patient's brain to have the right and left hemisphere to work properly by integrating, or better wire connection.
Another way of learning this is work in the rehabilition hospital that works with brain and spine injuries patients. If that hospital has a lot of security guards through out the hospital, then you will know what types of patients you would be dealing with.
