No, your Honor. Yes, your Honor. And at that time I tried to barge in and the door opened about 6 inches. So at that time, since the door was open only 6 inches, Captain Mark Hatch was sitting directly within my view by the way his office is arranged, and he was just sitting there looking at me. Yes, your Honor.
Criminal conduct requires a mens rea and actus reus .
The specific intent to commit a crime plus an act beyond mere preparation are required to support a conviction for attempt under Article 80. Concurrent intent does not apply when the intent to commit a specific act is unrelated to the results or is too remote in its occurrence to have any bearing on the actor's state of mind. Under a concurrent-intent approach, we infer the intent when the result was the same as that intended or at least a natural and probable consequence of the intended result. As long as the defendant has the requisite intent for the intended crime, the defendant will be responsible for the natural and probable consequences of the act. Appellant s admitted actions are sufficient to establish that he had the concurrent intent to kill both his aunt and his uncle.
