7 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“prostration of faculties such that defendant was rendered incapable of forming an intent”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“(I)t is not the case that every defendant who has had a few drinks may successfully urge the defense. The mere intake of even large quantities of alcohol will not suffice. Moreover, the defense cannot be established solely by showing that the defendant might not have committed the offense had he been sober. (citation omitted) What is required is a showing of such a great prostration of faculties that the requisite mental state was totally lacking. That is, to successfully invoke the defense, an accused must show that he was so intoxicated that he did not have the intent to commit an offense. Such a state will likely exist in very few cases. (Emphasis added)”
