Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
The element of intentional or knowing causation is not established if the actual result is outside the intention or the contemplation of
the defendant unless:
(1) The actual result differs from that intended or contemplated, as the case may be, only in the respect that a different person or
different property is injured or affected or that the injury or harm intended or contemplated would have been more serious or more
extensive than that caused; or
(2) The actual result involves the same kind of injury or harm as the probable result and is not too remote or accidental in its
occurrence to have a bearing on the actor's liability or on the gravity of the offense.
