`1`Aforethought `2` "Legal Lexicon":
AFORETHOUGHT - As in 'malace aforethought'. Premeditated; the length of time during which the accused has entertained the thought of committing the offence is not very material, provided he has in fact entertained such thought; he is thereby rendered criminal in a greater degree than if he had committed the offence without premeditation. --b-- |
