HN seems to have an incredibly poor understanding of what Mens Rea means or how it’s applied.
You don’t need someone to jump up, wave their arms and scream “I meant to do it!” to establish intent.
It can be established in any way deemed believable by a jury including repeating the same action that leads to a similar outcome multiple times.
It’s even been instructed to juries that they can find intent in the deliberate decision to not seek out the likely outcome of performing an action.
