• concluding that proof failed to establish premeditation where factors supporting premeditation were not present
• holding that trial court did not err in excluding evidence that expert witness omitted a reprimand from his CV where the reprimand was unrelated to litigation at issue and did not affect qualifications of the expert
• stating that lack of provocation by the victim may support an inference of premeditation
• providing that the destruction or secretion of evidence may support an inference of premeditation
• recognizing the failure to render aid as a factor supporting premeditation
• finding no merit to “the proposition that an expert witness is „untruthful‟ when he or she omits from his or her CV a reprimand that is not related to the litigation at issue or that does not, in and of itself, impact the expert‟s qualifications and/or credibility”
