What evidence does defendant need to support his claim that he aimed at the officer before he shot and killed the officer?

The evidence, which defendant now describes as "exculpatory," was before the jury. Also before the jury was the testimony of prosecution and defense witnesses who stated that defendant "aimed" at the officer or "pointed the gun" directly at the officer. Not only did the eyewitnesses specifically testify that defendant aimed at the officer before firing, but the very act of firing a shotgun toward the officer at that distance would permit an inference of intent to kill from the manner of killing. (See People v. Cruz (1980) 26 Cal.3d 233, 245, 162 Cal.Rptr. 1, 605 P.2d 830.)
