Kusala asked for forgiveness saying that he is a first offender and that he
raped his mother due to the influence of alcohol. The magistrate however said
his drunkenness cannot be an excuse and wondered how he managed to go to his
mother’s house, undressed and raped her if he was really intoxicated
