Premeditation means 'intent before the act' implying that the act in question (usually actus reus in criminal law) was intentional and not accidental. Prosecutors are fond of pointing out that 'premeditation can form in the blink of an eye' which means that even a crime of passion can be premeditated. It is an augmenting factor, which means it can bring manslaughter up to murder (for example). Accidental, random acts or acts performed by individuals unable to understand the consequences of their actions are not premeditated, and the individuals are not punished like intentional criminals.
