It was a poor choice of words on my part...planned the "kill" is probably better. He went and got a tarp, moved the bodies, and then shot.

Not sure that qualifies as first-degree murder.

"A Minnesota homeowner who shot and killed two unarmed teenagers during a break-in was quickly convicted of premeditated murder Tuesday, with a jury taking about three hours to reject his claim of self-defense.

Smith, who showed no emotion as he heard the verdicts, was immediately sentenced to life without parole. Defense attorney Steve Meshbesher said he would appeal."
