California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Anguiano, F070340 (Cal. App. 2017):
The term an "abandoned and malignant heart" is far from clear and could be misleading. Accordingly, over time, courts have translated this concept into a tangible standard a jury can apply. (People v. Knoller (2007) 41 Cal.4th 139, 151-152.)
