Criminal intent This element must be proved in most cases. Criminal intent generally means that the defendant intended to commit the act and intended to do evil. A few crimes do not require criminal intent. These afe generally less serious criLnes, for which a Jail sentence is very unlikely. Traffic offenses fall'within this classification. You may not have intended to speed or have intended evil but you have still committed this crime. ignorance or mistake is generally no excuse for violating a law. A person is presumed to know what the Jaw is. To have criminal intent, one must have sufficient mental capacity at the time one commits a crime to know the difference between right and wrong and to be capable of deciding what to do. Accordingly, insane persons are not held liable for their criminal acts.
