Existing law, as added by Proposition 8, adopted June 8, 1982, among other things, abolished the defense of diminished capacity. Existing law prohibits, in a criminal action, as well as any juvenile court proceeding, evidence concerning an accused person's intoxication, trauma, mental illness, disease, or defect from being admissible to show or negate capacity to form the particular purpose, intent, motive, malice aforethought, knowledge, or other mental state required for the commission of the crime charged. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
