Crimes: intent.

Under existing law, the intent to commit a crime is manifested by the circumstances connected with the offense. In the guilt phase of a criminal action or a juvenile adjudication hearing, existing law makes evidence that the accused lacked the capacity or ability to control their conduct inadmissible on the issue of whether they had any mental state with respect to the commission of any crime. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
