Key legal question
Whether the defendant was entitled to a reduced sentence based on diminished responsibility from intoxication
Extracted holding
The argument was inadmissible because the lower court had not found the defendant intoxicated at the relevant time, and no arbitrariness in that omission was shown.
Extracted reasoning
Federal review is bound by the facts unless arbitrarily established. The evidence invoked did not compel a finding that he was drunk at the time of the murder.
