Criminal intent in the offence of importing a narcotic substance. What is required for its establishment. The offender's knowledge that what he holds is among the substances whose holding is legally prohibited, the judgment's demonstration. The judgment's unsound demonstration of the existence of that intent vitiates it through deficient reasoning and flawed inference. Example.
Arabic original
القصد الجنائي في جريمة جلب الجوهر المخدر. ما يجب لتحققه. علم الجاني بأن ما يحرزه من المواد المحظور إحرازها قانوناً تدليل الحكم. الحكم غير السائغ على توافر ذلك القصد يعيبه بالقصور في التسبيب والفساد في الاستدلال. مثال.
