Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 404 — (T.D.1 1967); Cal. § 405 (1971); Mass. ch. 263, § 16; N.J. § 2C:2-2B., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 404. (T.D.1 1967); Cal. § 405 (1971); Mass. ch. 263, § 16; N.J. § 2C:2-2B.
CROSS-REFERENCES: § 4.25 of this Code; § 43.50 receiving stolen property; §
31.15 incest.
COURT DECISIONS: C.A.9 1982 In the prosecution for murder under the law of
Guam, evidence, including that police officer whom defendant was accused of
shooting had fired first at defendant, was sufficient to entitle defendant to instruction
on manslaughter. People v. Fejeran, 687 F.2d 302 (1982); reversing Appellate
Division.
COMMENT: § 4.30 (a) defines intentionally and with intent to reflect current
decisional law and, contrary to the Model Penal Code, retains these terms because they
are used almost exclusively in other Guam statutes.
The terms knowingly or with knowledge are currently used in many statutes: e.g., ...
receiving stolen property (§ 43.50 of this Code); incest (§ 31.15 of this Code). There
has been little to distinguish intent from knowledge. People vs. McCree, 128 Cal. App.
2d 196, 275 Pac.2d 95 (1954) states that these two terms are synonymous. However,
this Section makes clear that there is a difference and that difference is stated.
