But I can't help wondering if, when you are on trial for the attempted murder of your fiance, arguing that you only meant to scare her, not kill her, when you
tasered her, tied her up, stuffed her in a cardboard box, and buried her head-down, will actually help your case all that much.

But you're right that it doesn't help that much, because generally intent doesn't just mean that a person intended to cause a result. It also means that the person knew that a particular result would likely happen, even when they don't intend that result. And if you tie someone up and bury them, it's pretty likely that they're going to die from that.
