Example of a General Intent Crime and an Inference of Intent
Battery is defined as "intentional harmful or offensive physical contact with
another" by a state statute. A broad intent crime is described in this statute.
According to the statute, the offender need only have intended the offensive or
hurtful contact to be found guilty of battery.The defendant does not need
scienter, or knowledge that the physical contact is unlawful, nor does he or she
need to wish for the touch to result in a particular outcome, such scarring or
death.According to the statute, Addie has most likely committed violence if she
clenches her fist and strikes Eddie in the jaw after he refers to her as a "stupid
idiot." Using Eddie's evidence and a doctor's report, a prosecutor may
demonstrate that Addie engaged in harmful or offensive touch. It would
therefore be possible to urge the jury to "infer intent from proof of the act."
Without more proof of purpose, the jury may find Addie guilty of battery if they
accept the inference and conclude that the illegal act was performed by Addie.

Battery is defined as "intentional harmful or offensive physical contact with
another" by a state statute. A broad intent crime is described in this statute.
According to the statute, the offender need only have intended the offensive or
hurtful contact to be found guilty of battery.The defendant does not need
scienter, or knowledge that the physical contact is unlawful, nor does he or she
need to wish for the touch to result in a particular outcome, such scarring or
death.According to the statute, Addie has most likely committed violence if she
clenches her fist and strikes Eddie in the jaw after he refers to her as a "stupid
idiot." Using Eddie's evidence and a doctor's report, a prosecutor may
demonstrate that Addie engaged in harmful or offensive touch. It would
therefore be possible to urge the jury to "infer intent from proof of the act."
Without more proof of purpose, the jury may find Addie guilty of battery if they

Battery is defined as "intentional harmful or offensive physical contact with
another" by a state statute. A broad intent crime is described in this statute.
According to the statute, the offender need only have intended the offensive or
hurtful contact to be found guilty of battery.The defendant does not need
scienter, or knowledge that the physical contact is unlawful, nor does he or she
need to wish for the touch to result in a particular outcome, such scarring or
death.According to the statute, Addie has most likely committed violence if she
clenches her fist and strikes Eddie in the jaw after he refers to her as a "stupid
idiot." Using Eddie's evidence and a doctor's report, a prosecutor may
demonstrate that Addie engaged in harmful or offensive touch. It would
therefore be possible to urge the jury to "infer intent from proof of the act."
Without more proof of purpose, the jury may find Addie guilty of battery if they
accept the inference and conclude that the illegal act was performed by Addie.

Battery is defined as "intentional harmful or offensive physical contact with
another" by a state statute. A broad intent crime is described in this statute.
According to the statute, the offender need only have intended the offensive or
hurtful contact to be found guilty of battery.The defendant does not need
scienter, or knowledge that the physical contact is unlawful, nor does he or she
need to wish for the touch to result in a particular outcome, such scarring or
death.According to the statute, Addie has most likely committed violence if she
clenches her fist and strikes Eddie in the jaw after he refers to her as a "stupid
idiot." Using Eddie's evidence and a doctor's report, a prosecutor may
demonstrate that Addie engaged in harmful or offensive touch. It would
therefore be possible to urge the jury to "infer intent from proof of the act."
Without more proof of purpose, the jury may find Addie guilty of battery if they

could find Addie guilty of battery without additional evidence of intent.
Battery is defined as "intentional harmful or offensive physical contact with
another" by a state statute. A broad intent crime is described in this statute.
According to the statute, the offender need only have intended the offensive or
hurtful contact to be found guilty of battery.The defendant does not need
scienter, or knowledge that the physical contact is unlawful, nor does he or she
need to wish for the touch to result in a particular outcome, such scarring or
death.According to the statute, Addie has most likely committed violence if she
clenches her fist and strikes Eddie in the jaw after he refers to her as a "stupid
idiot." Using Eddie's evidence and a doctor's report, a prosecutor may
demonstrate that Addie engaged in harmful or offensive touch. It would
therefore be possible to urge the jury to "infer intent from proof of the act."
Without more proof of purpose, the jury may find Addie guilty of battery if they
accept the inference and conclude that the illegal act was performed by Addie.

hurtful contact to be found guilty of battery.The defendant does not need
scienter, or knowledge that the physical contact is unlawful, nor does he or she
need to wish for the touch to result in a particular outcome, such scarring or
death.According to the statute, Addie has most likely committed violence if she
clenches her fist and strikes Eddie in the jaw after he refers to her as a "stupid

hurtful contact to be found guilty of battery.The defendant does not need
scienter, or knowledge that the physical contact is unlawful, nor does he or she
need to wish for the touch to result in a particular outcome, such scarring or
death.According to the statute, Addie has most likely committed violence if she
clenches her fist and strikes Eddie in the jaw after he refers to her as a "stupid
idiot." Using Eddie's evidence and a doctor's report, a prosecutor may
demonstrate that Addie engaged in harmful or offensive touch. It would

Battery is defined as "intentional harmful or offensive physical contact with
another" by a state statute. A broad intent crime is described in this statute.
According to the statute, the offender need only have intended the offensive or
hurtful contact to be found guilty of battery.The defendant does not need
scienter, or knowledge that the physical contact is unlawful, nor does he or she
need to wish for the touch to result in a particular outcome, such scarring or
death.According to the statute, Addie has most likely committed violence if she
clenches her fist and strikes Eddie in the jaw after he refers to her as a "stupid
idiot." Using Eddie's evidence and a doctor's report, a prosecutor may
demonstrate that Addie engaged in harmful or offensive touch. It would
therefore be possible to urge the jury to "infer intent from proof of the act."
Without more proof of purpose, the jury may find Addie guilty of battery if they
accept the inference and conclude that the illegal act was performed by Addie.

Battery is defined as "intentional harmful or offensive physical contact with
another" by a state statute. A broad intent crime is described in this statute.
According to the statute, the offender need only have intended the offensive or
hurtful contact to be found guilty of battery.The defendant does not need
scienter, or knowledge that the physical contact is unlawful, nor does he or she
need to wish for the touch to result in a particular outcome, such scarring or
death.According to the statute, Addie has most likely committed violence if she
clenches her fist and strikes Eddie in the jaw after he refers to her as a "stupid
idiot." Using Eddie's evidence and a doctor's report, a prosecutor may
demonstrate that Addie engaged in harmful or offensive touch. It would
therefore be possible to urge the jury to "infer intent from proof of the act."
Without more proof of purpose, the jury may find Addie guilty of battery if they

Battery is defined as "intentional harmful or offensive physical contact with
another" by a state statute. A broad intent crime is described in this statute.
According to the statute, the offender need only have intended the offensive or
hurtful contact to be found guilty of battery.The defendant does not need
scienter, or knowledge that the physical contact is unlawful, nor does he or she
need to wish for the touch to result in a particular outcome, such scarring or
death.According to the statute, Addie has most likely committed violence if she
clenches her fist and strikes Eddie in the jaw after he refers to her as a "stupid
idiot." Using Eddie's evidence and a doctor's report, a prosecutor may
demonstrate that Addie engaged in harmful or offensive touch. It would
therefore be possible to urge the jury to "infer intent from proof of the act."
Without more proof of purpose, the jury may find Addie guilty of battery if they
accept the inference and conclude that the illegal act was performed by Addie.
