<h1>Presumed culpable mental state in prosecutions unless accused rebuts by proving lack; facts require proof beyond reasonable doubt</h1> In prosecutions under the Act that require a culpable mental state, the court shall presume that the accused possessed that mental state, but the accused may rebut the presumption by proving they lacked such mental state regarding the charged act. 'Culpable mental state' encompasses intention, motive, knowledge of a fact, and belief in or reason to believe a fact. A fact is regarded as proved only when the court is satisfied of its existence beyond reasonable doubt, not merely on a balance of probabilities.
