I'm sure that there is caselaw in the various states that lays out a time period for 'premeditation' for that particular jurisdiction but, even at best, it is an ephemeral period of time.
Premeditation excludes certain "heat of the moment"actions (in which the criminal thought is virtually simultaneous with the act being carried out). It can best be described as the length of time one must take to rationally formulate a plan/idea in one's mind and then act upon it. This period of time can vary from a few moments, up to an act which takes a lengthy period of time to plan and carry out.
AnswerA premeditated act is one that requires planning, willful deliberation and/or prior consideration beforehand. The amount of time between the planning and the act is decided on a case by case basis. The time period is not arbitrarily fixed but it varies according to the circumstances.
