Fifth Amendment

The infamously-controversial and widely-abused "white lightnin' defense" article in the Bill Of Rights. it allows for leniency based on whether the offender was intoxicated (ie., if he'd consumed a "fifth") during the commission of his crime.

Ollie North pled the Fifth Amendment during the Iran-Contra scandal, but I dunno... he sure as shootin' looked sober to me!
