* Knowingly *
KNOWINGLY - Means that an act was done voluntarily and intentionally and not because of mistake or accident.
Pleadings. The word 'knowingly,' or 'well knowing,' will supply the place of a positive averment in an indictment or declaration, that the defendant knew the facts subsequently stated; if notice or knowledge be unnecessarily stated, the allegation may be rejected as surplusage.
