Facts

D was tried by judge for a murder. The issue was premeditation and D was found guilty. D's sole claim is that the District Court and Court of Appeals were in error in not recognizing that the question to be decided in this case was whether any rational factfinder could have concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that the killing for which he was convicted was premeditated.
