In what circumstances will a jury find premeditation and deliberation beyond a reasonable doubt?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Tye, 100 Cal.Rptr.2d 507, 83 Cal.App.4th 1398 (Cal. App. 2000):
In reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence of premeditation and deliberation, we do not substitute our own judgment for that of the jury. Rather, we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether substantial evidence exists from which a rational jury could find premeditation and deliberation beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. Perez (1992) 2 Cal.4th 1117, 1124, 1127.)
