Section 8 Proof of criminal intent.
England and Wales
A court or jury, in determining whether a person has committed an offence,—
(a)
shall not be bound in law to infer that he intended or foresaw a result of his actions by reason only of its being a natural and probable consequence of those actions; but
(b)
shall decide whether he did intend or foresee that result by reference to all the evidence, drawing such inferences from the evidence as appear proper in the circumstances.
