P. v. Gonzalez
The record in this case contains testimony from a medical examiner who believed appellant Salvador Mendoza Gonzalez strangled his girlfriend Maria Veloz for one or two minutes and that although the strangling itself would have killed Veloz, when appellant was finished strangling Veloz, appellant threw Veloz against a wall with such force that he inflicted what would have been a second fatal injury. The record also contains testimony from appellant in which he admitted he killed Veloz. The jury found him guilty of first degree murder. On appeal appellant argues the prosecution failed to show the killing was premeditated and deliberate. Court affirm.
