548 So. 2d 841; 14 Fla. L. Weekly 2142; 1989 Fla. App. LEXIS 5059; 1989 WL 104036 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Peterson v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant appeals her conviction of first degree murder on the ground that the State did not prove premeditation beyond a reasonable doubt. We conclude that the facts of the present case satisfy the test for premeditation set forth in Tien Wang v. State, 426 So.2d 1004, 1005 (Fla. 3d DCA), review denied, 434 So.2d 889 (Fla. 1983), and resemble the circumstances of Covington v. State, 302 So.2d 483 (Fla. 2d DCA 1974). See also Phippen v. State, 389 So.2d 991, 993 (Fla. 1980).

Affirmed.
