People v. Gleason
California Supreme Court
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Kern County and from an order denying a new trial. J. W. Mahon, Judge. The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
1Opinion of the CourtMcFARLAND, J.
The defendant was convicted of the crime of murder in the first degree, and the jury fixed the punishment at imprisonment for life. He appeals from the judgment and from an order denying his motion for a new trial.
The appellant contends that the evidence was not sufficient to justify the jury in finding that the homicide was committed with that degree of premeditation and deliberation which is necessary to constitute murder in the first degree. Upon this point it is sufficient to say that this contention cannot be maintained, and that the evidence was amply sufficient to warrant the verdict.
