How courts have described this case

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

“In the context 14 of a criminal statute, ‘intentionally’ means . . . purposely . . . .”
offense is general, not specific, intent crime; “that is to say, the intent required . . . relates to the assault, not to the injury which results”
“[I]n determining whether an offense is indeed a lesser-included one, a court initially does not look to the evidence in the particular case, but, rather, as the name of the statutory-elements rule implies, looks only to the elements of the criminal offense.”
