The defendant had voluntarily consumed drugs to calm his
nerves. Under the influence of the drugs, he had started
shooting in the cottage in which he had been living, but
claimed to have been unable to remember anything after
taking the drugs. The defendant was convicted of causing
criminal damage being reckless as to whether life would be endangered, following the trial judge's direction to the jury
that self-induced intoxication was not available by way of
defence to a basic intent crime. The defendant appealed.
What is the Court's decision?
