The transferred intent doctrine states that if an individual intended to harm one person but ends up harming another person instead, then the intent can be transferred to the actual victim. In this case, since Michael intended to shoot Gary but ended up shooting Stella instead, Stella can invoke the transferred intent doctrine to recover damages from Michael.
