Chapter II
CRIME

Article 19. Crime Committed with Two Forms of Guilt

If a crime committed with intent leads to more severe consequences which according to the law imply a more severe criminal punishment and which were not part of the intent of the offender, the criminal liability for such consequences shall be applied only if the person foresaw the prejudicial consequences but thoughtlessly considered that such could be avoided, or if the person did not foresee the possibility of such consequences although he/she should have and could have foreseen such. Consequently, the crime is considered to have been committed with intent.
