Intentional or not, the outcome is all that matters.

In every aspect of your life

I don't know if this is necessarily true. We have separate charges for murder and manslaughter for example.

The end outcome and impact on everyone (in your case, the deceased, the family) depends on intent.

Doesn’t change the original statement I made one bit

[systemvoltage]

Speak for yourself. Intent is one of the key factors in crime investigations. Even in 'every aspect of life', intent plays a critical role in greasing the society's abrasion. It helps us understand each other better. Did you accidentally bumped me or did you try to push me out of the bus?

[dadoge]

Intent can and will influence the outcome.

Does not change anything about my original statement.

The end outcome of “oops I bumped into you” is basically nothing. The end outcome of an intentional shove is quite different (maybe lack of trust develops, etc)

The end outcome of punching someone in the face while drunk and saying “hey brah I didn’t mean to” is still gonna feel shitty no matter the intent
