An Illustration of an Unenforceable Possession Law
In one state, it is illegal to "be within 100 feet of any quantity of marijuana."
Jean sits next Ricardo on the subway. After smelling marijuana, a police officer
pats Jean down and searches her. He arrests Jean and Ricardo for marijuana
possession after finding a huge baggie of marijuana in Jean's jacket pocket.
Despite being within a hundred feet of marijuana, which is illegal according to
the law, Ricardo should not face charges for possessing marijuana. There is no
proof that Ricardo knew Jean or that he was aware of Jean's marijuana
possession. Therefore, the state's possession legislation should not be applied to
Ricardo since he lacks the mens rea and criminal intent necessary for
possession.

"Physical contact with another, inflicted with the intent to maim, disfigure, or
scar" is how a state code defines mayhem. A particular purpose crime is
described in this statute. According to the statute, the offender must
intentionally cause bodily contact that results in scarring, disfigurement, or
maiming in order to be found guilty of mayhem. The offender may be acquitted
(or prosecuted and found guilty of a lower-level intent crime like battery) if the
prosecution is unable to demonstrate this high-level purpose. Therefore, Pauline
might be found guilty of mayhem if she says, "It is time to permanently mess up
that pretty face," then pulls out a razor and cuts Peter's cheek with it. However,
it is more difficult to demonstrate that Pauline meant to cause scarring if she
slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.

According to a state law, stealing is "the permanent taking of another person's
property." A particular purpose crime is described in this statute. According to
the statute, a defendant must have more than just the intent to "take the property
of another" in order to be found guilty of theft. Additionally, the defendant must
plan to retain the property indefinitely. Pauline has "taken the property of
another" if she uses Peter's razor to shave her legs, but she has not committed
theft because she plans to return it after using it.

"Physical contact with another, inflicted with the intent to maim, disfigure, or
scar" is how a state code defines mayhem. A particular purpose crime is
described in this statute. According to the statute, the offender must
intentionally cause bodily contact that results in scarring, disfigurement, or
maiming in order to be found guilty of mayhem. The offender may be acquitted
(or prosecuted and found guilty of a lower-level intent crime like battery) if the
prosecution is unable to demonstrate this high-level purpose. Therefore, Pauline
might be found guilty of mayhem if she says, "It is time to permanently mess up
that pretty face," then pulls out a razor and cuts Peter's cheek with it. However,
it is more difficult to demonstrate that Pauline meant to cause scarring if she
slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.

According to a state law, stealing is "the permanent taking of another person's
property." A particular purpose crime is described in this statute. According to
the statute, a defendant must have more than just the intent to "take the property
of another" in order to be found guilty of theft. Additionally, the defendant must
plan to retain the property indefinitely. Pauline has "taken the property of
another" if she uses Peter's razor to shave her legs, but she has not committed
theft because she plans to return it after using it.

might be found guilty of mayhem if she says, "It is time to permanently mess up

slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.
An illustration of a specific intent to go beyond the criminal act
According to a state law, stealing is "the permanent taking of another person's
property." A particular purpose crime is described in this statute. According to
the statute, a defendant must have more than just the intent to "take the property
of another" in order to be found guilty of theft. Additionally, the defendant must
plan to retain the property indefinitely. Pauline has "taken the property of
another" if she uses Peter's razor to shave her legs, but she has not committed
theft because she plans to return it after using it.

"Physical contact with another, inflicted with the intent to maim, disfigure, or
scar" is how a state code defines mayhem. A particular purpose crime is
described in this statute. According to the statute, the offender must
intentionally cause bodily contact that results in scarring, disfigurement, or
maiming in order to be found guilty of mayhem. The offender may be acquitted
(or prosecuted and found guilty of a lower-level intent crime like battery) if the
prosecution is unable to demonstrate this high-level purpose. Therefore, Pauline

the statute, a defendant must have more than just the intent to "take the property
of another" in order to be found guilty of theft. Additionally, the defendant must
plan to retain the property indefinitely. Pauline has "taken the property of
another" if she uses Peter's razor to shave her legs, but she has not committed
theft because she plans to return it after using it.

"Physical contact with another, inflicted with the intent to maim, disfigure, or
scar" is how a state code defines mayhem. A particular purpose crime is
described in this statute. According to the statute, the offender must
intentionally cause bodily contact that results in scarring, disfigurement, or
maiming in order to be found guilty of mayhem. The offender may be acquitted
(or prosecuted and found guilty of a lower-level intent crime like battery) if the
prosecution is unable to demonstrate this high-level purpose. Therefore, Pauline
might be found guilty of mayhem if she says, "It is time to permanently mess up
that pretty face," then pulls out a razor and cuts Peter's cheek with it. However,
it is more difficult to demonstrate that Pauline meant to cause scarring if she
slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.

described in this statute. According to the statute, the offender must
intentionally cause bodily contact that results in scarring, disfigurement, or
maiming in order to be found guilty of mayhem. The offender may be acquitted
(or prosecuted and found guilty of a lower-level intent crime like battery) if the
prosecution is unable to demonstrate this high-level purpose. Therefore, Pauline
might be found guilty of mayhem if she says, "It is time to permanently mess up
that pretty face," then pulls out a razor and cuts Peter's cheek with it. However,
it is more difficult to demonstrate that Pauline meant to cause scarring if she
slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.

According to a state law, stealing is "the permanent taking of another person's
property." A particular purpose crime is described in this statute. According to
the statute, a defendant must have more than just the intent to "take the property
of another" in order to be found guilty of theft. Additionally, the defendant must
plan to retain the property indefinitely. Pauline has "taken the property of
another" if she uses Peter's razor to shave her legs, but she has not committed
theft because she plans to return it after using it.

slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.
An illustration of a specific intent to go beyond the criminal act
According to a state law, stealing is "the permanent taking of another person's
property." A particular purpose crime is described in this statute. According to
the statute, a defendant must have more than just the intent to "take the property
of another" in order to be found guilty of theft. Additionally, the defendant must
plan to retain the property indefinitely. Pauline has "taken the property of
another" if she uses Peter's razor to shave her legs, but she has not committed
theft because she plans to return it after using it.

"Physical contact with another, inflicted with the intent to maim, disfigure, or
scar" is how a state code defines mayhem. A particular purpose crime is
described in this statute. According to the statute, the offender must
intentionally cause bodily contact that results in scarring, disfigurement, or
maiming in order to be found guilty of mayhem. The offender may be acquitted
(or prosecuted and found guilty of a lower-level intent crime like battery) if the
prosecution is unable to demonstrate this high-level purpose. Therefore, Pauline
might be found guilty of mayhem if she says, "It is time to permanently mess up
that pretty face," then pulls out a razor and cuts Peter's cheek with it. However,
it is more difficult to demonstrate that Pauline meant to cause scarring if she
slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.

"Physical contact with another, inflicted with the intent to maim, disfigure, or
scar" is how a state code defines mayhem. A particular purpose crime is
described in this statute. According to the statute, the offender must
intentionally cause bodily contact that results in scarring, disfigurement, or
maiming in order to be found guilty of mayhem. The offender may be acquitted
(or prosecuted and found guilty of a lower-level intent crime like battery) if the
prosecution is unable to demonstrate this high-level purpose. Therefore, Pauline
might be found guilty of mayhem if she says, "It is time to permanently mess up
that pretty face," then pulls out a razor and cuts Peter's cheek with it. However,
it is more difficult to demonstrate that Pauline meant to cause scarring if she
slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.

(or prosecuted and found guilty of a lower-level intent crime like battery) if the
prosecution is unable to demonstrate this high-level purpose. Therefore, Pauline
might be found guilty of mayhem if she says, "It is time to permanently mess up
that pretty face," then pulls out a razor and cuts Peter's cheek with it. However,
it is more difficult to demonstrate that Pauline meant to cause scarring if she
slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.
An illustration of a specific intent to go beyond the criminal act
According to a state law, stealing is "the permanent taking of another person's
property." A particular purpose crime is described in this statute. According to
the statute, a defendant must have more than just the intent to "take the property
of another" in order to be found guilty of theft. Additionally, the defendant must
plan to retain the property indefinitely. Pauline has "taken the property of
another" if she uses Peter's razor to shave her legs, but she has not committed
theft because she plans to return it after using it.

According to a state law, stealing is "the permanent taking of another person's
property." A particular purpose crime is described in this statute. According to
the statute, a defendant must have more than just the intent to "take the property
of another" in order to be found guilty of theft. Additionally, the defendant must
plan to retain the property indefinitely. Pauline has "taken the property of
another" if she uses Peter's razor to shave her legs, but she has not committed
theft because she plans to return it after using it.

"Physical contact with another, inflicted with the intent to maim, disfigure, or
scar" is how a state code defines mayhem. A particular purpose crime is
described in this statute. According to the statute, the offender must
intentionally cause bodily contact that results in scarring, disfigurement, or
maiming in order to be found guilty of mayhem. The offender may be acquitted
(or prosecuted and found guilty of a lower-level intent crime like battery) if the
prosecution is unable to demonstrate this high-level purpose. Therefore, Pauline
might be found guilty of mayhem if she says, "It is time to permanently mess up
that pretty face," then pulls out a razor and cuts Peter's cheek with it. However,
it is more difficult to demonstrate that Pauline meant to cause scarring if she
slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.

"Physical contact with another, inflicted with the intent to maim, disfigure, or
scar" is how a state code defines mayhem. A particular purpose crime is
described in this statute. According to the statute, the offender must
intentionally cause bodily contact that results in scarring, disfigurement, or
maiming in order to be found guilty of mayhem. The offender may be acquitted
(or prosecuted and found guilty of a lower-level intent crime like battery) if the
prosecution is unable to demonstrate this high-level purpose. Therefore, Pauline
might be found guilty of mayhem if she says, "It is time to permanently mess up
that pretty face," then pulls out a razor and cuts Peter's cheek with it. However,
it is more difficult to demonstrate that Pauline meant to cause scarring if she
slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.

According to a state law, stealing is "the permanent taking of another person's
property." A particular purpose crime is described in this statute. According to
the statute, a defendant must have more than just the intent to "take the property
of another" in order to be found guilty of theft. Additionally, the defendant must
plan to retain the property indefinitely. Pauline has "taken the property of
another" if she uses Peter's razor to shave her legs, but she has not committed
theft because she plans to return it after using it.

that pretty face," then pulls out a razor and cuts Peter's cheek with it. However,
it is more difficult to demonstrate that Pauline meant to cause scarring if she
slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.
An illustration of a specific intent to go beyond the criminal act
According to a state law, stealing is "the permanent taking of another person's
property." A particular purpose crime is described in this statute. According to
the statute, a defendant must have more than just the intent to "take the property
of another" in order to be found guilty of theft. Additionally, the defendant must
plan to retain the property indefinitely. Pauline has "taken the property of
another" if she uses Peter's razor to shave her legs, but she has not committed
theft because she plans to return it after using it.

"Physical contact with another, inflicted with the intent to maim, disfigure, or
scar" is how a state code defines mayhem. A particular purpose crime is
described in this statute. According to the statute, the offender must
intentionally cause bodily contact that results in scarring, disfigurement, or
maiming in order to be found guilty of mayhem. The offender may be acquitted
(or prosecuted and found guilty of a lower-level intent crime like battery) if the
prosecution is unable to demonstrate this high-level purpose. Therefore, Pauline
might be found guilty of mayhem if she says, "It is time to permanently mess up
that pretty face," then pulls out a razor and cuts Peter's cheek with it. However,

of another" in order to be found guilty of theft. Additionally, the defendant must
plan to retain the property indefinitely. Pauline has "taken the property of
another" if she uses Peter's razor to shave her legs, but she has not committed
theft because she plans to return it after using it.

"Physical contact with another, inflicted with the intent to maim, disfigure, or
scar" is how a state code defines mayhem. A particular purpose crime is
described in this statute. According to the statute, the offender must
intentionally cause bodily contact that results in scarring, disfigurement, or
maiming in order to be found guilty of mayhem. The offender may be acquitted
(or prosecuted and found guilty of a lower-level intent crime like battery) if the
prosecution is unable to demonstrate this high-level purpose. Therefore, Pauline
might be found guilty of mayhem if she says, "It is time to permanently mess up
that pretty face," then pulls out a razor and cuts Peter's cheek with it. However,
it is more difficult to demonstrate that Pauline meant to cause scarring if she
slaps Peter while he is shaving without remarking and the razor pierces his
cheek. In this case, Pauline may only be found guilty of battery.
