Lesbian Rapist Wins New Trial

She was jailed last year for two and a half years with a release date in March next year.

But why is being drunk still considered a defence against criminal charges?

...the jury asked for a direction on how it could use intoxication when resolving the issue of mistaken belief.

I am reminded of the advice given me when I was a middle ranking officer in a position to hear charges brought against airmen:- "If he pleads intoxication double the punishment."
