   e.g. State v. Clanton · State v. Fennell

2. “"In section 21-3416 the legislature expressly included scienter as an element of the offense. Therefore, it may be concluded the term ‘knowingly’ would have been used in section 21-3411, if the legislature had intended that scienter also be an element of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. Its absence is compelling evidence that the legislature did not intend to require scienter.” 215 Kan. at 647 .”
