JACKSON V. VIRGINIA
443 U.S. 307 (1979)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the standard of proof to be applied in a
federal habeas corpus proceeding.
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 his case was whether any rational factfinder
could have concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that the killing for which he was convicted
was premeditated.
