Decisione estratta
The appellate court gave insufficient reasons on the defendant's required mental state and did not adequately address his arguments.
Motivazione estratta
A court need not address every argument, but it must state the essential reasons. Here, the reasoning on intent was too sparse and did not explain why the defendant knowingly and wilfully acted; the reliance on the complainant's mistaken interpretation did not establish his own intent.
