““. . . criminal intent, being a state of mind, is rarely susceptible of direct or positive proof and therefore must usually be inferred from the facts testified to by witnesses and the circumstances as developed by the evidence. The question of intent is a question for the jury.” State v. Pascgo (1977), 173 Mont. 121 , 566 P.2d 802, 805 , citing State v. Cooper (1971), 158 Mont. 102 , 489 P.2d 99 .”
