Jones’s wife sues the police, claiming the underlying crime could not have been performed by Jones because he was incapable of forming an intention.  Since Jones is dead, the simple test procedure cannot be performed. So Jones’s wife demands an autopsy, where it is found that indeed, Jones had developed a cancerous lesion in l. teleonomicus.

Still haven’t addressed the dualism in your l.teleonomicus argument.  You’ve just compartmentalized it as a magic black box.

The wife may have case because the cops bungled the arrest.   They don’t determine guilt or innocence.
