United States Eighth Circuit

Missouri Revised Statute Sec. 562.076.3, making evidence of voluntary intoxication irrelevant insofar as the mental elements of the crime are concerned, is constitutional, and MAI-CR3d Sec. 310.50 does not unconstitutionally shift the burden of proof and does not violate due process.
