The elements of first-degree murder are (1) the intentional killing of a human (2) with premeditation and deliberation.” People v Bennett, 290 Mich App 465, 472; 802 NW2d 627 (2010). “To premeditate is to think about beforehand; to deliberate is to measure and evaluate the major facets of a choice or problem.” People v Plummer, 229 Mich App 293, 300; 581 NW2d 753 (1998) (quotation omitted). A passage of time between forming the initial homicidal intent and the ultimate action is necessary to establish premeditation and deliberation. People v Gonzalez, 468 Mich 636, 641; 664 NW2d 159 (2003). “However, the time required need only be long enough to allow the defendant to take a second look.” People v Unger, 278 Mich App 210, 229; 749 NW2d 272 (2008) (citation and quotation marks omitted).
“Premeditation and deliberation may be inferred from all the facts and circumstances, but the inferences must have support in the record and cannot be arrived at by mere speculation.” Plummer, 229 Mich App at 301. “Premeditation may be established through evidence of (1) the prior relationship of the parties, (2) the defendant’s actions before the killing, (3) the circumstances of the killing itself and, (4) the defendant’s conduct after the homicide.” Unger, 278 Mich App at 229. For example, use of a deadly weapon and the location of the wounds inflicted may be considered when assessing premeditation. People v Coddington, 188 Mich App 584, 600; 470 NW2d 478 (1991). “[O]rganized conduct prior or subsequent to the killing suggesting the existence of a plan” as well as a defendant's attempt to conceal the killing can also be used as evidence of premeditation. People v Youngblood, 165 Mich App 381, 387; 418 NW2d 472 (1988); see also Gonzalez, 468 Mich at 641. Further, a “preconceived motive” may serve as circumstantial evidence of premeditation. People v Taylor, 275 Mich App 177, 180; 737 NW2d 790 (2007).
