<i>Holloway v. United States</i>: Conditional v. Unconditional Intent to Kill
Owens, Michael Douglas
Abstract
In Holloway v. United States, the United States Supreme Court held that the "intent to kill" element in the federal cajacking statute was satisfied by a mere conditional intent to kill. The Court reasoned that a common-sense reading of the statute indicated Congress's attempt to include the mens rea of both unconditional and conditional intent.
