2020H:34 (2018) applies to “Intoxication (Voluntary).” The final sentence of the instruction reads, in part, that “you may not consider evidence of self-induced intoxication for purposes of deciding whether the prosecution has proved the elements of [insert name(s) of general intent offense(s)].” Id.

2020Comment 8 states that the above sentence “curtails a jury’s consideration of evidence of defendant’s intoxication where the defendant is also charged with general intent crimes.” Id. at cmt. 8. ¶ 62 Although the wording of Instruction H:34 and the instruction that the trial court read to the jury in this case differ, they mean much the same.
