State v. Khalil
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed the decision of the court of appeals affirming Defendant's conviction of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, holding that a person is mentally incapacitated under Minn. Stat. 609.341, subd. 7 when that person is "under the influence of alcohol...administered to that person without the person's consent."
Defendant raped the victim when she was voluntarily intoxicated. At issue was whether a person can be mentally incapacitated under section 609.341, subd. 7 when the person voluntarily ingests alcohol, or whether the alcohol must be administered to the person without her agreement. The Supreme Court remanded this case for a new trial, holding that a person is mentally incapacitated under the statute when that person is "under the influence of alcohol...administered to that person without the person's agreement."
