Is a defendant entitled to appeal his conviction for willful, premeditated and deliberate attempted murder?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Delacruz, E064648 (Cal. App. 2017):
Defendant argues his conviction for willful, premeditated and deliberate attempted murder must be reversed because no rational jury could have found substantial evidence that the shooting was the product of a "preexisting reflection and weighing of considerations rather than [a] mere unconsidered or rash impulse." (People v. Cole (2004) 33 Cal.4th 1158, 1224.)
