They keep suggesting that somehow being an addict is a defense to committing a crime. You can’t win a DUI by claiming you’re an alcoholic. You’ll be found guilty and in all likelihood be required to go to AA. Likewise if you rob a bank or kill somebody, you will go to jail. Even if you’re drunk and so is the woman you have sex with, she’ll be considered unable to give consent but somehow you’ll be considered to have the requisite intent to commit rape.

So I hope that the prosecution brings it up in closing. I don’t see how they can before then, but I wish some of the pundits would talk about it now.
