Alcohol no excuse for murder

First of all my regards to Tanya Nowdlak for her father’s death.

The justice system is very strange for us common people. To understand it, you have to study it.

Lawyers will do anything to win their case, no matter what the circumstances of the accused. For the lawyer of the accused, don’t you have any shame for arguing that the accused was intoxicated?

Alcohol or drugs don’t put themselves in the person’s mouth all by themselves. They have no effect when you let them be.

And to use the intoxicated state of an accused as an excuse is not right. He already made a conscious decision to drink alcoholic beverages and must be held responsible and accountable for his actions. How a lawyer can defend an irresponsible drinker is beyond me.

You can get intoxicated and be violent or kill someone and get away with it is what the lawyers seems to be saying.
