DEFENDANT ENTITLED TO A HEARING ON HIS MOTION TO VACATE HIS CONVICTION ON INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE GROUNDS, DEFENDANT ALLEGED HE WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE INTOXICATION DEFENSE PRIOR TO PLEADING GUILTY.

The Third Department determined defendant was entitled to a hearing on his motion to vacate his conviction. Defendant alleged he was not informed of the intoxication defense prior to pleading guilty:

… [R]egarding defendant’s claim in his CPL 440.10 motion that counsel’s representation was ineffective for failing to inform him that the required element of criminal intent for burglary in the second degree (see Penal Law § 140.25) could be negated by the defense of intoxication[:] The victims’ statements to police include the observations that defendant “looked high and his speech was slow” and that defendant appeared “either drunk or stoned.” Additionally, his criminal record reflects a history of alcohol-related arrests and convictions. Insofar as a defendant’s knowledge that the element of intent may be negated by the potential defense of intoxication is essential to a knowing and voluntary plea … and there is no indication that defendant was aware of the intoxication defense and knowingly waived his right to present such evidence, we are persuaded that defendant has raised an issue sufficient to require a hearing … . People v Perry, 2017 NY Slip Op 02095, 3rd Dept 3-23-17
