is this right? My crim teacher was very vague and confusing so I've had to work it out myself via Dressler.
conduct: purpose
circumstances: MPC/Majority: tracks offense. Minority: purpose/knowledge
result: purpose/knowledge
thanks so much!

Common law majority, as exemplified by Thacker: requires purpose/specific intent as to conduct, circumstance, and result.
Common law minority, as exemplified by Thomas from Colorado: requires purpose as to conduct, same as underlying offense for circumstance, same as underlying offense for result.
MPC: requires purpose as to conduct, same as underlying offense for circumstance, purpose as to result.
