you are incorrect. Being drunk or high on drugs is not a mitigating factor . because an ordinary person would anticipate an accident even one causing death if some one is drunk and gets behind the wheel of a car.
You are either just dimd or you spent too many years defending criminals
It negates intent
different from a mitigating factor
and I do not defend criminals
but I did take criminal law
I do family law trying to keep these dimwits from imploding their families due to lust
