Is there sufficient evidence for a reversal of a finding of premeditated attempted murder?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Burciaga, B263517 (Cal. App. 2016):
This evidence of planning, motive, and manner of attempting to kill supports an inference the attempted murders were the result of reflection. There was sufficient evidence for a rational trier of fact to find defendant guilty of premeditated attempted murder. Even if the evidence might also "reasonably be reconciled with a contrary finding," reversal would not be warranted. (People v. Stanley (1995) 10 Cal.4th 764, 792-793.)
