so much. >> thank you. >> so having heard all of that, i want to bring in our panel. mark geragos and danny cevallos and host of dr. drew on call. one of the problems was the alcohol abuse and something the jury picked up on. >> yeah, i'm actually fascinated. the jury in this case seems to have hit on all the issues. they would have been read an instruction that was essentially this. voluntary intoxication is not a defense to any crime in texas. so every shred of evidence that was evidence of intoxication or drug use negated that insanity defense. that's why the prosecution pushed so hard to get that in and the defense was left in an awkward position of trying to separate the two, saying, yes, he used drugs but that was separate and distinct from his mental disease that he labored under. which is interesting because i'm sure as dr. drew will tell us, it's almost impossible to separate in the case of a dual diagnosis a mental illness with a drug addiction or abuse.
