In what circumstances will a defendant be found guilty of a general intent crime for failing to provide authority for his contention?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Nutting, C076803 (Cal. App. 2016):
As with other contentions, defendant's opening brief provides no authority for his contention. Once again, he cites Civil Code section 1912, but he cites no statute or case concerning scienter requirements or general intent crimes. Failure to provide authority forfeits the contention. (See People v. Stanley (1995) 10 Cal.4th 764, 793.)
