Preterintention

Preterintention "is the form of guilt which is done by committing an act with intention and producing a more serious consequence than the one pursued or accepted by the perpetrator through committing the act"; "this refers to when an act or an omission goes beyond the intention of the perpetrator who wanted to carry out a minor event": "given the agent A, the minor event B, the major event C –, the characteristic relation of preterintention can be described as follows: (1) A wants B. (2) A causes C. (3) C is greater than B. By the transitive property, if there is a psychic connection between A and B, a material connection between A and C, a value connection between B and C, then there must be a psychic connection between A and C, even if it is different from the direct one that exists between A and B".
