general intent
- The decision to engage in an activity that's legally forbidden, not particularly concerned with the potential outcomes or specific results of the action
- The defendant was convicted on charges of theft due to his representation of general intent when he took someone else's belongings.
- General intent was clear in the case as the accused had the intention to perform an act that's deemed illegal, regardless of the eventual impact.
- To prove general intent, the prosecution needs to demonstrate that the accused wanted to commit the act, without the need to show they wished for certain consequences.
