What is the test for determining whether an actor's intent was revealed by his conduct?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Campos, H0035756 (Cal. App. 2012):
The third sentence merely states a specific application of the truism that an actor's intent may be revealed by his conduct. The first sentence, based on People v. Hill, accurately anticipated the holding of Albillar. At least in a case of joint criminal action, a defendant's specific intent to promote or assist that action is enough.
