We have the cctv evidence from before the rape and the statements of many witnesses by which we could infer she wasn't able to stand up on her own unless helped.

"In cross-examination by defence barrister Oliver Saxby QC asked Prof Deakin whether Libby could have come to harm accidentally as a result of her condition.
The expert confirmed Libby may have struggled to find her way home and could have run into difficulty.
Mr Saxby said: “May she have taken the wrong route or got lost? May she have been unaware of obvious danger?”
Professor Deakin said: “Her assessment of danger is likely to be impaired.”
It seems the "hypothermia expert" still thought her capable of trying to walk home after the attack"
Vulnerable Libby would have 'struggled to defend herself' - trial
