What are some cases where a jury was able to reasonably infer that a defendant had a specific intent to kill?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Nichelson, 217 Cal.App.2d 273, 31 Cal.Rptr. 750 (Cal. App. 1963):

People v. Weaver, 123 Cal.App. 347, 11 P.2d 69; People v. Marquez, 109 Cal.App.2d 447, 240 P.2d 1019; and People v. Malki, 181 Cal.App.2d 118, 5 Cal.Rptr. 207, are cases which hold that the established facts provided grounds from which the jury could reasonably infer that specific intent to kill existed. If the facts in those cases justified the inference that the respective defendants had a specific intent to kill, then the facts in the case at bar justify such an inference.
