Abstract
The law contains settled methods and presumptions for deciding the content of the human mind. Courts have no trouble applying these techniques in cases requiring proof of manifest intent. Nor do cases that demand proof beyond a reasonable doubt of specific intent cause great difficulty. If the case goes to a jury in either circumstance, that body will be told at some point that it is at least reasonable for the jury to presume that an insured intends the natural and probable consequences of intentionally taken or omitted actions.
