Involuntary Intoxication Defense Guide

Summary

Involuntary intoxication is typically a state issue, not federal. Federal courts handle cases involving federal law or constitutional issues. If your trial was unfair, consider filing an appeal or a PCRA petition in Pennsylvania. PCRA petitions must be filed within one year of the judgment becoming final and require proof of specific issues like ineffective counsel. Newly discovered evidence, such as opinions on culpability, might impact your case but could be challenging if your PCRA is untimely. Understanding the reasons for untimeliness is crucial.
