Intent Intent

rdfs:comment

Intent is "[a] state of mind or desire to achieve an objective." Intent makes our bodies move. Conscious and subconscious mind use intent to manage movement through the synchronization of muscular contraction and relaxation. Intent is a concept at common law. In criminal law, it establishes mens rea and, more importantly, is used to determine whether mens rea actually exists, even when the results of a crime are not what the defendant actually meant to happen. In tort law, it is an essential element in establishing most torts (the primary exception being negligence).

"I think this is personal. The triarch seemed focused on me, not on the Nameless," Nyall tries to reassure you. "I'm sure they won't harm Odette." Nyall frowns. "I don't know. I never had dealings with him when we worked for Volantis. I was hired by Triarch Doniphos, to defend the city from Dothraki raiders." "Did you really breach a contract with Volantis?" "Try to think of any reason the triarch would have turned against you now." "You're right. This smells like a vendetta, not an arrest." "If Odette is hurt in this, I will hold you personally responsible." "The Nameless have never violated a contract," Nyall insists. "But Triarch Doniphos wanted us to renew and I chose to go to Qarth instead." "What is happening to the rest of the fleet? Where is Odette?" "Why would Triarch Nyessos want you locked up?" "This is no misunderstanding. This was done with intent." Nyall paces your cell like a caged tiger. "I apologize you were caught in it."

n20:abstract

Intent makes our bodies move. Conscious and subconscious mind use intent to manage movement through the synchronization of muscular contraction and relaxation. Intent is a concept at common law. In criminal law, it establishes mens rea and, more importantly, is used to determine whether mens rea actually exists, even when the results of a crime are not what the defendant actually meant to happen. In tort law, it is an essential element in establishing most torts (the primary exception being negligence). The concept of intent poses difficulty for most laypersons, and can even give judges pause. It is important to remember that, when used in a legal context, it cannot be given it's ordinary English meaning. It should not be confused with motive even though in normal English usage these two are close synonyms. The maxim that best describes intent in a legal sense is "Intent follows the bullet, not the aim". In other words, in both establishing a crime or a tort, the defendant is held to have intent whenever something happens as a result of the defendant's deliberate actions as long as that result was reasonably foreseeable. A pair of examples can make this clear. 1. * Bill wants to kill Harry because Harry has been sleeping with his girlfriend. He fires a gun at Harry but misses and hits his best friend George. Bill is still guilty of murder even though he did not want to kill George. Bill's intent to kill Harry forms the necessary mens rea. 2. * After Bill is released, he still wants to punish Harry, but decides this time only to wound him. He shoots Harry in the leg, but hits the femoral artery and Harry soon bleeds to death. Bill is still guilty of murder and not the offence he wanted to commit, assault with a weapon, because intent attaches to the act of shooting, not Bill's wish to merely wound Harry. Since bleeding to death from a leg wound is a foreseeable consequence of being shot, that forms the necessary mens rea for the more serious offence. Things get more complicated when considering whether a person is guilty of attempting a crime. Let's take another example - tired of prison, Bill decides to escape. He is confronted by a guard on a high wall. Although he didn't want to hurt the guard, he has to push him off the wall to make his escape. Remarkably, the guard survives the fall. Had the guard died, we clearly have murder again, but with the guard surviving, it is not as clear whether Bill had the required intent for a charge of attempted murder. Intent is "[a] state of mind or desire to achieve an objective."
