MUJI 2d CV1809
Intent.
Intent ordinarily cannot be proved directly because there is no way to read people's minds. However, you may determine intent from the surrounding circumstances and find that [name of defendant] intended the natural and probable consequences of acts done knowingly. You may consider any statement made or acts done by [name of defendant] and all other facts and circumstances that may show intent.
