Criminal intent is an essential element of every crime unless specifically excluded by statute.
Intentional conduct is purposeful and willful, not accidental. Aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer, committed with a deadly weapon, does not require any particular intent or other state of mind. The statute does not identify or require a further particular intent which must accompany the prohibited act. Thus, it incorporates the general intent required by K.S.A. 21-3201, not a specific intent. Opinion filed October 1, 1999.
