Legal Question
Drunk driving accident
Lets say Gail drove her car after
having dinner and several drinks. She
fell asleep at the wheel and ran over
and killed a pedestrian. Prosecuted
for manslaughter, she raised the
defence that she did not intend to
hurt anyone and because of the
drinks did not know what she was
doing. Was this a valid defence?
