القصد الجنائي في جريمة تمكين مقبوض عليه من الفرار. مناط تحققه. بعلم الجاني بأن من مكنه من الفرار مقبوضاً عليه واتجاه إرادته إلى تمكينه من الفرار. تحدث المحكمة استقلالاً عن كل ركن من أركانها. غير لازم مادام أن ما أوردته يدل على توافره. مثال لتسبيب سائغ لتوافر الاشتراك بطريقي الاتفاق والتحريض في جريمة تمكين مقبوض عليه من الفرار مع العلم بأنه مقبوض عليه.
