Heading: The premeditation jury instruction.

Text: Doyle requests that this court overrule the holding in Powell v. State, 108 Nev. 700, 838 P.2d 921 (1992), as it relates to premeditation as an element of first-degree murder. In Powell, this court held that, as long as the jury instruction comports with the standard announced in Briano v. State, 94 Nev. 422, 581 P.2d 5 (1978), there is no need to define separately deliberateness. We conclude that this court's reasoning in Powell remains sound and that there is, therefore, no need for this court to revisit the meaning of the phrase deliberate, premeditated, and willful at this time.
