Can you refer to an explanation of this? Or to some case law explaining the non-attribution of volition?

in CA second degree murder is the unlawful killing of a human being that is done without deliberation and premeditation, but with malice aforethought (or with an intent to commit an act)

if there is literally zero evidence available as to intent, it cant be murder.
