Specific Intent

Tax Bracket

A person’s intent to produce the precise consequences of that person’s act, including the intent to do the physical act itself. for example, larceny is taking the personal property of another with the intent to permanently deprive the other person of it. a person is not guilty of larceny just because he took someone else’s property; the prosecutor must prove that the defendant intended to take the property, and that he took it in order to keep it permanently.
