You know what... I was on a jury for a murder trial. I was the foreman and I still have the jury instructions. You realize that premeditation takes all of about 5 seconds. Right? Once you decide to kill someone and do it... that is premeditation.

You have to put yourself inside his head for premeditation. There has to be proof he decided to kill. That’s hard to do. It’s just as likely he panicked in the heat of the moment and emptied his magazine. We don’t know.

You do realize that if it can take as little as 5 seconds to "achieve" doesn't mean that it has ever been legally proven or even attempted.
The hysteria is so bad that one of the TV bimbo lawyers blurted out that "premeditatin" could be achieved in only a couple of seconds.
Good luck proving that.
