People v. Grayer

Summary

The court affirmed Grayer’s conviction for attempted vehicular hijacking. It held that voluntary intoxication is not an affirmative defense, but relevant and admissible evidence may be considered in determining whether the State proved the specific intent required for an attempt offense. The court further held that Grayer’s threats, efforts to take control of the vehicle, and conduct at the gas station provided sufficient evidence of specific intent beyond a reasonable doubt.
