Is there any case law supporting a conviction of premeditated and deliberate attempted murder?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. White, 2d Crim. No. B275489 (Cal. App. 2018):

White argues that his conviction of premeditated and deliberate attempted murder is not supported by sufficient evidence. He describes his action as "'mere unconsidered or rash impulse hastily executed'" when confronted by police officers. (People v. Anderson (1968) 70 Cal.2d 15, 27 [premeditated deliberate murder requires a killing the result of preexisting reflection and mastering of considerations].) White asserts that his methamphetamine intoxication precluded thoughtful and reasoned deliberation. He adds that possession of a firearm and ammunition, without more, does not establish premeditation and deliberation.
