1Opinion of the Court

Opinion

EPSTEIN, J.

Roman Ramos Cruz appeals from conviction for forcible rape, forcible sodomy, and forcible penetration with a foreign object. He claims that the misadministration of the jury oath rendered the verdict reversible per se. In the published portion of this opinion, we find no reversible error with respect to this issue. He also claims that the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury sua sponte regarding voluntary intoxication. In the unpublished portion of this opinion, we find no reversible error on this issue. We affirm the judgment.
