To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But there was evidence to show that, when he struck the deadly blow, the defendant was intoxicated ; and the court was asked to charge the jury that, "if it appeared by the evidence that the condition of the prisoner from intoxication was such as to show that there was no inten- tion or motive by reason of drunkenness, to commit the crime of murder, they should convict him of manslaughter. ' ' The court refused so to charge, but, upon this point, instructed the jury " that intoxica- tion never ...excused crime, unless it was of such a degree as to deprive the offender of his reasoning faculties." In the proposition, as it was thus given to the jury, there was no error. No rule is more familiar than that intoxication is never an excuse for crime. There is no judge who has been engaged in the administration of criminal law, who has not had occasion to assert it. Even where intent is a necessary ingredient in the crime charged, so long as the offender is capable of conceiving a design, he will be presumed, in the absence of proof to the contrary, to have intended the natural conse- quences of his own act.
