Q1.
Good evening class,
Courts have defined specific intent as the subjective desire or knowledge that the prohibited result will occur (People v. Owens, 1983). For intent to be present, it must be proved that the thought to conduct the act was present. The prosecution must be able to prove that the defendant had intent to achieve a specific goal in addition to the intent to commit the illegal act. Examples of the types of specific intent crimes are burglary, conspiracy, forgery, embezzlement and larceny. Because intent mainly refers to the state of mind, it is hard to prove with direct evidence and is usually inferred from the facts of the case. Evidence of intent is admissible to prove a specific-intent crime.
Which crimes might be easier to prove intent than others? General intent crimes are easier to prove and can also result in a less severe punishment. A basic definition of general intent is the intent to perform the criminal actor actus reus (People v. Mcdaniel,1979). If the defendant acts intentionally but without the additional desire to bring about a certain result, or do anything other than the criminal act itself, the defendant has acted with general intent.
What kinds of proof might be used for certain crimes than others? There are three standards of proof which are proof beyond a reasonable doubt, preponderance of the evidence and clear and convincing evidence. Preponderance of the evidence is the lowest standard of proof. It is used primarily in civil proceedings. This standard means that it is more likely than not that the facts are as that which one of the parties claim. Clear and convincing evidence is a step up from the preponderance. This requires that the evidence show that it is highly probable or probably certain that the thing alleged has occurred. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt refers to the standard of proof in criminal prosecutions. The prosecutor has the duty to convince the jury by proof beyond a reasonable doubt of each and every element of the crime before a jury should convict a defendant (People v. Mcdaniel, 1979).

Q2.
Proving intent can be challenging in criminal cases as in order to prove intent you must attempt to prove what a person was thinking and that the actions that the person took was for a distinct desired result. Criminal intent is when a suspect intends to do something wrong or something that is forbidden. The problem with proving criminal intent, mens rea, is it refers to the state of mind of an individual who makes a decision and that results in a criminal act. Wh.
1. MURDER
LIMB A OF SECTION 300
The parties involve are A as the accused and B as the victim. Then, the issue here is whether
B can be held liable for murder as define under Section 300 limb (a) of the Penal Code and
punishable under Section 302 of the same code for causing the death of B.
LAW PRINCIPLE
Section 300 defines murder as causing the death of another human being with the necessary
element as stated under limb (a) to limb (d).
In determining whether X can be held liable, we have to see whether his acts fall within the
ambit of limb (a). Limb (a) only requires an intention to kill. In Tan Hoi Hung, intention is defined as
when a man is consciously shaping his conduct so as to achieving his conduct to bring out a certain
event. Intention can be inferred from the facts of the case namely from (1) the nature of the injury,
(2) the place of injury, (3) the method of infliction and (4) the use or nature of weapon. In Tan Buck
Tee v PP, the deceased’s body had 5 appalling wounds, wounds which penetrated to the heart and
liver. In the view of the court, the wounds would have been caused by violent blows with a heavy
instrument like an axe. In the absence of anything else, whoever inflicted these blows must have
intended to kill the person. In Ghazali Mat Ghani v PP, the accused shot the deceased at a close
range with a rifle. The cause of death was a fatal shot in the heart. The accused was convicted of
murder. On appeal, the conviction was correct as the appellant had inflicted the injury to the
deceased’s heart and caused his death. In PR v Mohd Asmadi bin Yusof, the accused intended to
cause the deceased’s death based on the serious injuries inflicted on the head. There was evidence
that the accused struck the deceased’s head with bricks. The court held that the violent nature of
the accused’s assault and the long standing feud between the accused and the victim showed the
accused’s intention was with an intention to kill.
APPLICATION
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, A may be held liable for murder as define under Section 300 limb (a) of the
Penal Code and punishable under Section 302 of the same code for causing the death of B.
2. LIMB B OF SECTION 300
The parties involve are A, the accused and B, the victim. The issue is whether A may be held
liable for murder as define under Section 300 limb (b) of the Penal Code and punishable under
Section 302 of the same code for causing the death of B.
LAW PRINCIPLE
Section 300 defines murder as causing the death of another human being with the necessary
element as stated under limb (a) to limb (d).
In determining whether A can be held liable, we have to see whether his acts fall within the
ambit of limb (b). Limb (b) requires the offender not only intends a bodily injury but he must have
the knowledge that the injury is likely to cause death. The knowledge here refers to the personal
knowledge of the accused which resulted in the death of the victim. The offender must have special
knowledge of the victim and knows that an act will result the death of the victim even though such
bodily injury would not cause the death of any person in good health. This knowledge required
refers to a certainty and not a mere probability. This can be illustrated in the first half of illustration
(b) of Section 300. In the illustration, [A knows that Z is labouring under such a disease that a blow is
likely to cause his death, strikes him within the intention of causing bodily injury. Z dies in the
consequence of the blow. A is guilty of murder, although the blow might not have been sufficient to
in the ordinary course of nature to cause the death of a person in a sound state of health. If the act
done is accompanied with intention of causing bodily injury likely to cause death and it was not
known that it was likely a consequence, it is a culpable homicide].
APPLICATION
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, A may be held liable for murder as define under Section 300 limb (b) of the
Penal Code and punishable under Section 302 of the same code for causing the death of B.
3. LIMB C OF SECTION 300
The parties involve are A, the accused and B, the victim. The issue is whether A may be held
liable for murder as define under Section 300 limb (c) of the Penal Code and punishable under
Section 302 of the same code for causing the death of B.
LAW PRINCIPLE
Section 300 defines murder as causing the death of another human being with the necessary
element as stated under limb (a) to limb (d).
In determining whether A can be held liable for murder, we have to see whether his act falls
within the ambit of limb (c). Limb (c) requires an intention to cause bodily injury sufficient in the
ordinary course of nature to cause death of another person. In proving the criminal liability, we
must first identify whether the act was inflicted intentionally or accidental. Second, whether the
injury is sufficient to cause the death of a person. In Yap Biew Hian v PP, the court gave a guideline
that a sufficient injury means there is a high probability of death in such instance.
Circumstantial cases - depending on the question
MURDERING CHILDREN - In PP v Aziz Mat Shah, the accused was charged for murdering a 3 year old
child. The accused after work had slapped the deceased, punch her in the stomach and chest and
used a pillow to cover the deceased’s face before she stopped crying. The court held that the
sufficiency is the high probability of death in the ordinary way of nature, and when exist and death
ensues followed by the intention to cause such injury, the offence is murder.
MURDERING GIRL IN THE PROCESS OF RAPE – In the case of PP v Mohd Abbas, the accused was
charged with murder of 10 years old girl who had been strangled while being raped by the accused.
The court held that it was murder falls under all limbs in section 300 as the act was done by the
accused with intention, sufficient in ordinary cause of nature to cause death or the act known to him
to be imminently dangerous that it must in all probabilities to cause death.
PP V ABDUL RAZAK DALEK – the accused stabbed and slit her wife.
Tan Cheow Bock v PP – the accused stabbed the victim mouth when he tried to rob her as she was
shouted. Intention to cause injury is determine whether he had intentionally caused the fatal injury.
APPLICATION
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, In conclusion, A may be held liable for murder as define under Section 300
limb (c) of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 302 of the same code for causing the death
of B.
4. LIMB D OF SECTION 300
The parties involve are A, the accused and B, the victim. The issue is whether A may be held
liable for murder as define under Section 300 limb (d) of the Penal Code and punishable under
Section 302 of the same code for causing the death of B.
LAW PRINCIPLE
Section 300 defines murder as causing the death of another human being with the necessary
element as stated under limb (a) to limb (d).
In determining whether A can be held liable for murder, we have to see whether his act falls
within the ambit of limb (d). Limb (d) requires that the offender knows that his act is imminently
dangerous that it must in all probability to cause death. There are two elements to this limb. Firstly,
the act was done with knowledge that it is so imminently dangerous that it will cause death or injury
likely to cause death. In PP v Kenneth Fook Mun Lee, the accused shot a lady who refused to come
out from her car. The accused claimed that he was drunk at the time he took the shot which hit her
vital organ. The court held that the accused’s act was imminently dangerous. Secondly, the act was
done without lawful excuse. Illustration (d) of Section 300 provided that A, without any excuse, fires
a loaded cannon into a crowd of persons and kills one of them. A is guilty of murder, although he
may not have a premeditated design to kill any particular person.
APPLICATION
In applying the law to the situation, A’s act was clearly a dangerous act as firing a gun is
imminently dangerous at it is a weapon to kill. When A fired the gun, he has the knowledge that he
might in all probabilities kill someone.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, A may be held liable for murder as define under Section 300 limb (d) of the
Penal Code and punishable under Section 302 of the same code for causing the death of B.
