Court: |
Wisconsin Court of Appeals |
|
Facts: |
Guiden got drunk and burgled. He pled guilty, and his accomplice's
testimony (Norwood) was read into the record. Now Guiden wishes
not to be in prison, so he asks for a new trial. |
|
Posture: |
Pled guilty, sentenced. |
|
Issue: |
Was he intoxicated to the point of not being able to form the intent
to burglarize? |
|
Holding: |
Affirmed: there's no basis in the record for this assertion. |
|
Rule: |
Capacity to form intent is to be inferred from conduct. |
|
Reasoning: |
The conduct supports an inference of intent. |
|
Dicta: |
We're not just talking about lowered inhibitions. |
