L@amplighter, in nearly all legal systems whether there was or was not an intent to commit a crime is usually only considered at the sentencing stage and it is pretty much inadmissable as a defence. I can tell you don't watch "The Practice". Intent certainly does matter in a trial and BEFORE sentencing. A person's intent may at times mitigate the charges and is always on the defense attorneys mind as a possibility in any defense
