Lenwood Mason is an inmate on death row
in the state of Pennsylvania. He was born on 03/21/65. He was
sentenced to death 1 times in Philadelphia County on 02/20/96.Crime
Although Appellant concedes that he fatally stabbed Iona Jeffries, he
claims in his first allegation of error that there was insufficient
evidence to support the jury's verdict of first-degree murder. As in
all cases in which the death penalty has been imposed, this Court is
required to independently review the record to determine whether the
evidence is sufficient to sustain the verdict for murder in the first
degree. See Commonwealth v. Zettlemoyer, 500 Pa. 16, 26 n. 3, 454 A.2d
937, 942 n. 3 (1982), cert. denied, 461 U.S. 970, 103 S.Ct. 2444, 77
L.Ed.2d 1327 (1983). In conducting such a review, we must view the
evidence admitted at trial, and all reasonable inferences drawn
therefrom, in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth as verdict
winner, and determine whether the jury could find every element of the
crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Commonwealth v. Michael, 544 Pa. 105,
110-12, 674 A.2d 1044, 1047 (1996).
Evidence is sufficient to sustain a conviction for first-degree murder where the Commonwealth establishes that the defendant acted with a specific intent to kill, that a human being was unlawfully killed, that the defendant did the killing and that the killing was willful, deliberate and premeditated. 18 Pa.C.S. § 2502(d); Commonwealth v. Spotz, 552 Pa. 499, 505-07, 716 A.2d 580, 583 (1998). Circumstantial evidence alone is sufficient to prove first-degree murder. Commonwealth v. May, 540 Pa. 237, 246, 656 A.2d 1335, 1340 (1995).
