State-of-mind evidence permits particular acts and circumstances to prove intent, knowledge, good faith, negligence, or bodily condition.

Section 14 permits facts showing intention, knowledge, good faith, negligence, ill-will, bodily condition, or bodily feeling where that state is in issue or relevant. The fact must relate to the particular matter, not merely establish a general character, habit, or disposition. Prior acts, communications, possessions, complaints, and surrounding circumstances may prove the relevant state of mind when specifically connected to the transaction or offence. Evidence of general criminal disposition, habitual negligence, or general violent conduct remains irrelevant.
