And you might have missed another point, which is why did he have a knife on him in the first place?

That probably helps the intent or planet.

But the truth of the matter is, why would he form intent to hurt this person?

There's no interaction.

You're talking about passion murder where you see your wife cheating with somebody else or you see something that disturbs you, throws you into a rage.

That's not his wife cheating.

That's my point.

He's a killer.

There's nothing that triggered this premeditation.

You talk about forming the intent because you see something.

There was nothing that happened to make him form the intent.

It's just something up here.

Right, and the defense will come up with the why.

The why is because he's mentally insane.

Stop, hard stop, dead stop.

That's the only explanation that's going to get him any possibility of a defense.

That's the old McNaughton test.

And I think it's very applicable here because when, at the time he did that, clearly it's going to be easy to argue.

He did not know that what he was doing was wrong.

He was acting under some impulse, some mental diagnosis, some alternate personality.
