Yes, a first-degree murder statute that includes the terms "willful," "deliberate," and "premeditated" requires more than just an intentional killing. "Willful" indicates that the act was done purposefully, while "deliberate" suggests that the perpetrator made a conscious decision to kill, and "premeditated" means that there was some planning or forethought involved prior to the act. Together, these elements establish a higher level of culpability, distinguishing first-degree murder from other forms of homicide that may involve intent but lack the planning or deliberation.
