A is tried for a crime. Which of the following statements made by A is relevant under section 12 of the BSA?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 12 requires a state of mind to be shown in reference to the particular matter, not generally. Illustration (p) to section 12 says a statement showing an intention to commit that particular crime is relevant, while one showing a general disposition to commit crimes of that class is not, so the answer is "A statement indicating an intention to commit that particular crime". The other statements show only general disposition or attitude.
