How later courts describe this case
- "specific intent is a state of mind and, as such, it need not be proven as a fact, but may be inferred from the circumstances of the transaction and the actions of the defendant"
- "Even if, as claimed, defendant did not personally pull the trigger, his presence and assistance ... provided a basis from which the jurors could have concluded that he actively acquiesced in th[e] use of deadly force."
