La. Stat. tit. 14 § 11

Current with operative changes from the 2024 Third Special Legislative Session
Section 14:11 - Criminal intent; how expressed

The definitions of some crimes require a specific criminal intent, while in others no intent is required. Some crimes consist merely of criminal negligence that produces criminal consequences. However, in the absence of qualifying provisions, the terms "intent" and "intentional" have reference to "general criminal intent."
