1. “the statute [present CL § 3-202(a)(l) ] prohibits not only causing, but attempting to cause, a serious physical injury to another. Although the State must prove that an individual had a specific intent to cause a serious physical injury, a jury may infer the necessary intent from an individual’s conduct and the surrounding circumstances, whether or not the victim suffers such an injury. Also, the jury may “infer that ‘one intends the natural and probable consequences of his act.’ ””
