Accountability Resistance Syndrome

When a person who is obviously guilty continues to profess innocence regardless of overwhelming proof of their guilt. A drunk driver who denies being drunk after getting in to an accident, blows over the limit on a breathalyzer, and has witnesses confirming they were drunk will be a person exhibiting "Accountability Resistance Syndrome"

A child holding a crayon, covered in crayon marks, who was caught writing their name on the living room wall that denies vandalizing the wall is experiencing Accountability Resistance Syndrome.
