| | OSCN Found Document:Involuntary Intoxication Defined |
| | Involuntary intoxication is solely a claim that the person, without personal culpability for the intoxication, was so intoxicated at the particular time as to be unable to know right from wrong, or the nature and consequences of his acts. | | | An involuntary intoxication defense is available where the intoxication results from: 1) fraud, trickery or duress of another; 2) accident or mistake on his own part; 3) a pathological condition; 4) ignorance as to the effects of prescribed medication. | | | Involuntary intoxication is a complete defense where the defendant is so intoxicated that he is unable to distinguish between right and wrong, the same standard as applied in an insanity defense. |

| | Drug and alcohol intoxication: mens rea defenses |
| | Although voluntary intoxication cannot be used as a basis for an insanity defense, in some jurisdictions there is a concept of "settled insanity" resulting from a period of drug usage. | | | The concept of specific intent was developed as a means of taking drug and alcohol intoxication into account as a partial excuse. | | | In some states, the extreme emotional disturbance defense (an affirmative defense) can reduce murder to manslaughter by negating the specific intents required for murder. |

| | Intoxication defense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Depending on the nature of the crime, the effectiveness of the defense may hinge upon whether the defendant was subject to voluntary intoxication, or involuntary intoxication. | | | However, voluntary intoxication is never a defense to general intent crimes, such as arson, rape, or murder, that require a mens rea of malice or recklessness rather than the specific intent to commit the offense. | | | An intoxication defense, in criminal law, is a defense by excuse, via which a defendant argues that they should not be held criminally liable for actions which broke the law, because they were intoxicated. |

| | Intoxication as a Defense |
| | Intoxication applies to drugs as well as alcohol. | | | Intoxication evidence may be introduced where specific intent is an element of the crime. | | | With intoxication, the issue is not whether the defendant was drunk, nor whether it is voluntary; rather, the issue is whether the degree of intoxication was of such a character that it destroyed the power to form the specific intent required to commit the crime. |
