"you were born where you were born and faced the future that you faced because you were black and for no other reason. the limits of your ambition were, thus, expected to be set forever. you were born into a society which spelled out with brutal clarity, and in as many ways as possible, that you were a worthless human being. you were not expected to aspire to excellence: you were expected to make peace with mediocrity. wherever you have turned, james, in your short time on this earth, you have been told where you could go and what you could do (and how you could do it) and where you could live and whom you could marry. i know your countrymen do not agree with me about this, and i hear them saying "you exaggerate." they do not know harlem, and i do. so do you. take no one's word for anything, including mine- but trust your experience. know whence you came."

The defendant, angered because a rival gang member had twice beaten him up after school, obtained a heavy lead pipe and waited in a deserted alleyway which he knew the rival took as a route home every day after school. when his enemy came walking down the alley, the defendant leapt out behind him and smashed the pipe into the victim's head, knocking him to the ground. the defendant then rolled the victim over and pounded his face with 15 to 20 heavy blows with the lead pipe, killing him. the jurisdiction defines first degree murder as murder committed with premeditation and deliberation. all other murders are defined as second degree murders. why will the defendant be convicted of first degree murder (as opposed to second degree murder)?
