And Rosebud, yes people do cite differing things to explain away their behaviour. This man said he was too drunk to know what he was doing.
Forgive me if I am wrong but I thought that if he were so drunk he would not have been physically capable of raping this baby.
Personally I think he was just using drink as an excuse. Denial isn't only a river in Egypt.
I agree Margaret.Most normal blokes have done stupid things whilst drunk,that they wouldn't have done if they hadn't been drunk but raping a baby isn't on the rational person's to do list after having a few bevvies.The thought just wouldn't enter their heads.It's clear that this man's got a screw loose and was probably a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.Being drunk is absolutely no excuse for what he did.He'll be saying the voices told him to do it next.
