INTOXICATION

• The D was so intoxicated that he was incapable of forming the MR of the offence
• Voluntary intoxication - specific intent 


  The D didn’t form the MR of the offence due to intoxication - not guilty verdict

  AG for Northern Ireland v Gallagher - drunk intent is still intent (Mohan)
• Voluntary intoxication - basic intent 


  Not a defence but rather recklessness - change the MR to recklessness

  if the D didn’t know they would get intoxicated with what they took then they can use as a defence - Majewski

  Allen - didn’t realise strength of the intoxicant
• Involuntary intoxication 


  Being drugged/ spiked

  R v Kingston - paedophilic tendencies - had intention

  Hardie - sets girlfriends wardrobe on fire - not reckless when taking tablets

  O’Grady - applies to specific and basic intent crimes
