So far, not much has been said regarding what evidence there is proving premeditation. I don't know if there's an accepted standard in the legal realm to define an amount of planning time before the crime to define premeditation. Perhaps some commenters here with legal experience can contribute in that area. <br /> So we really don't know if the crimes were planned before or after he purchased the firearm. It also appears that he also planned to murder others in the house. <br /><br />“Other occupants appeared to be targeted during this event,” Brown said outside the courtroom. “It appears that similar means used against the victims were contemplated to be used against others. Some of the forensic evidence indicated that.”<br /><br />http://www.postindependent.com/news/12216046-113/amaya-brown-court-eaglessgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-43084205635432004412014-08-19T10:09:52.985+02:002014-08-19T10:09:52.985+02:00ss, c'mon, don't you think a waiting perio...ss, c'mon, don't you think a waiting period might have made a difference in this case.

"<br /><br /> Sorry Anon, I was on two weeks of active duty training and while I can often read regularly, my time available to write meaningful answers was limited. I'm touched you missed me though.<br /> Possibly, however I haven't seen any studies quantifying the presence or lack of success in regards to waiting periods. Something for each state to decide. <br /> <br /> ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-62604458808103780112014-08-18T18:29:58.828+02:002014-08-18T18:29:58.828+02:00Maybe SS will answer the question weeks from now. ...Maybe SS will answer the question weeks from now.

With the advent of computerized records, the NICS system negates this need.<br /> Another train of thought is that waiting periods help prevent spur of the moment crimes and suicides. This murder doesn't seem to fall into that category.ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-23578981271440660772014-07-22T14:53:20.164+02:002014-07-22T14:53:20.164+02:00To say waiting for what ever period "wouldn&#...To say waiting for what ever period "wouldn't have mattered " is simple incorrect!<br /><br />What can be said that IS correct is that waiting for what ever time period stops for that period what could be done with that newly bought weapon. <br /><br />One Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772881642197609507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-2920041489451795042014-07-22T12:28:41.443+02:002014-07-22T12:28:41.443+02:00Is there no scenario that a waiting period might s...Is there no scenario that a waiting period might save a life?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-75520430477879116662014-07-22T12:16:47.136+02:002014-07-22T12:16:47.136+02:00We'll never know if a three-day or a ten-day w...We'll never know if a three-day or a ten-day waiting period might have made a difference.

I imagine that eventually the evidence concerning this planning will be made public. <br /> He also bought the gun legally through an FFL and passed the required background check. No mention of anything that might have disqualified him.ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.com
