Rodriguez v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that a mistake-of-fact instruction should only be given when the actor’s mistake negates the culpable mental state required for the offense
• reiterating that, short of explicitly dispensing with culpable mental state, prescription of mental state as to one element and not as to others is “perhaps the strongest indicator of the Legislature’s intent [to dispense with mental state as to those other elements] that one may find”
• once an actor intentionally commits the prohibited act and causes injury, he is responsible for whatever degree of injury his intentional act caused
• “The line between lawful and unlawful conduct is crossed when one goes from accidentally causing bodily injury to culpably causing bodily injury—not when one goes from culpably causing bodily injury to culpably causing serious bodily injury.”
