You cannot read. Both convicting courts said there was no planning. No one tried to "plan the perfect murder".
So you concur Rudy, Amanda and Raff were there by mutual accident and 'things just spiralled out of control'?
Imagine you were the judge. You don't want Big Daddy Court slapping your wrists and criticising your MR. So you find the path of least resistance.
Why would you write there was premeditation when you have the guilty verdict anyway, without having to reason through it.
Having decided on 'sex game on wrong' and a'choice for evil', it saves you the bother of making your MR watertight against appeal - as premeditation is a loaded minefield to establish without some prima facie evidence - as you haven't introduced a potentially appellable point of law (such as premeditation).
As a judge, you are required to do just enough to have done your duty and draw your handsome fee, or salary.
