It can be for mens rea for specific intent crimes.Apparently, the defense attorneys asked potential jurors if they had strong feelings about using intoxication as a defense.
Uh... intoxication isn't a defense.

This bastard should be beaten to death himself. Instead, I'm sure the bitch will get 10 years and be back on the streets. Ridiculous..
According to the news he's looking pretty frail after 21 months in jail.

I thought we were supposed to worship athletes? I'm so confused.
I kind of feel bad for his parents. They gave the kid a great chance at success, and he threw it away.
My grandparents live right around the corner from his parent's house. It only took them a few days after the murder they finally got around to moving the lacrosse goal out of their (small) yard to not cause more attention to them.
Also, every single person that goes/went to Landon is a terrible human being. It's a fact.

No. It's between 1st degree, felony murder, 2nd degree and manslaughter. Death penalty isn't on the table. No Cville jury would give it anyway, especially in a domestic. Hell, we had a domestic stabbing jury give a guy just 15 years for stabbing his wife like 15-20 times just a couple of weeks ago. Juries here have a reputation for very light sentencing. This is why the defense prolly never thought twice about trying it here rather than moving it due to all the pretrial attention.
And the reason it's never settled is the City CA prolly hasn't offered anything less than 1st, and the defense prolly hasn't wanted to plea to more than manslaughter. There are good attorneys on both sides of this so it should be well tried.
Juries do not determine how long someone is in prison; they only determine innocence or guilt. Judges have the wonderful job of determining how long someone stays locked up.
Huge difference.
