When the defendant causes the death of another person and the defendant planned that death, this may be filed by the District Attorney’s Office as a First Degree Murder.  [Penal Code section 187] This is commonly referred to as premeditated murder, involving planning.  Even when one did not commit the murder himself but simply planned it for or together with someone else, he can and most likely will be charged with murder under the theory of criminal conspiracy.  These cases can be driven by eyewitness accounts, physical evidence, scientific evidence, or a combination of all of the above.  It is important to make sure that all defenses are examined with precision.  These cases are extremely serious and must be treated accordingly.
