Yeah I think the zip-ties seal the premeditation deal as far as evidence goes. You could argue he brought the gun for "protection" after the previous altercation, I suppose, but the zip-ties indicate he has a plan of some kind. Maybe he didn't plan to kill but the prosecutor can certainly make that claim and all he can say is "Nuh-uh!"

Well, they'd still have to make the case he planned to kill SPECIFICALLY. As Chuck pointed out in the other thread, the zip ties could just be for "make the guy piss his pants". Remember, proof beyond reasonable doubt.

I think the one that really damns him is that the Virginia First Degree murder statute also allows for it to be applied in cases of "abduction", which the zip ties DO make a pretty good case for.

I'd be surprised if they didn't try going for the death penalty.
