| Definition Of: |
Aforethought
As in 'malace aforethought'. Premeditated; the length of time during which the accused has entertained the thought of committing the offence is not very material, provided he has in fact entertained such thought; he is thereby rendered criminal in a greater degree than if he had committed the offence without premeditation.
This entry contains material from Bouvier's Legal Dictionary, a work published in the 1850's.
