DOC 373.09 DOC 373.09 Defenses. The following, if established by a youth by a preponderance of the evidence are complete defenses to alleged violations of the conduct rules under this chapter:
DOC 373.09(1) (1)Mental incapacity. At the time of the conduct, the youth, as a result of mental disease or defect, lacked substantial capacity either to appreciate the wrongfulness of the conduct or to conform to the conduct rules.
DOC 373.09(2) (2)Involuntary intoxication. At the time of the conduct, the youth, as a result of involuntary intoxication, lacked substantial capacity either to appreciate the wrongfulness of the conduct or to conform to the conduct rules. This subsection does not afford a defense if the intoxicant was taken voluntarily, unless the intoxicant was taken consistent with a proper prescription.

DOC 373.09(4)(a) (a) Whether the aggressor used a weapon.
