How later courts describe this case
- noting the Supreme Court’s use of the Model Penal Code definition of “knowingly”
- “Although knowledge that the substance imported is a particular narcotic need not be proven, 21 U.S.C. 952(a) is a ‘specific intent’ statute and requires knowledge that such substance is a controlled;substance.”
- "'Should have known' is closer to negligence than knowledge."
