Assume That a Defendant Had Voluntarily Consumed a Large Quantity

Assume that a defendant had voluntarily consumed a large quantity of alcohol to the point of extreme intoxication and was alleged to have committed a criminal act. Evidence concerning voluntary intoxication of the accused at the time of the crime:

A) is never admissible because a defendant may not rely on intoxication to prove his lack of guilt.
B) is admissible because voluntary intoxication is an excuse for the commission of a crime.
C) is not admissible because all states have statutes prohibiting the use of such evidence.
D) may be admissible if the purpose is to demonstrate that a particular state of mind required for guilt of the charged crime could not have existed due to the level of intoxication.
