And then the second element is the defendant acted with the intent to kill Lynn Hernan. There's a definition of intent to kill. But it's that definition that includes the phrase Or was aware that her conduct was practically certain to cause the death of another human beings? Judge's Answer: The jury must rely upon the definition of the elements of the crime that has already been provided to them. No further definition. Uh, or explanation of practically certain will be provided to them.
