@parados,
I never said that manslaughter absolves the individual of their actions, Im contemplating the use of intoxication as a reason for dropping the charges.
Manslaughter is an extreme downgrade from murder especially for an individual who forced his way into her room and repeatedly bashed her head against a wall.
Motives are not in question here, whats in question is state of mind
My point is that state of mind should not be a factor barring mental illness. which alchohol does not fall under
