CATEGORY OF CRIMINAL INTENT

GENERAL CRIMINAL INTENT is presumed from the mere


doing of a wrong act. This does not require proof. The burden is
upon the wrong doer to prove that he acted without such criminal
intent.

SPECIFIC CRIMINAL INTENT is not presumed because it is an


ingredient or element of a crime, like intent to kill in the crimes of
attempted or frustrated homicide/parricide/murder. The prosecution
has the burden of proving the same.

NEGLIGENCE indicates deficiency of perception or


failure to pay attention and to use diligence in foreseeing the
injury or damage impending to be caused. It usually
involves lack of foresight.

take the necessary precaution to avoid injury to person or
damage to property. It usually involves lack of skill.
