Yes, there are pleas that might apply if the defendant does not remember committing the act. I strongly recommend that you hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer before doing anything more. You can read about that at:

Yes, there are defenses. Voluntary intoxication can be a defense to some specific intent crimes. It could also come under an insanity defense possibly. This would need to be determined after an evaluation by a forensic evaluator upon motion of the court. This is very serious and needs to be discussed with an experienced criminal defense lawyer. If you have been charged you should arrange a consultation with a criminal lawyer as soon as possible.
