ABSTRACT:
(6 pp) The significance and use of a successful
provocation plea as an extenuating ground is
usually that it reduces murder to man slaughter,
despite the fact the defendant intended
to-and did-kill in anger. The unique feature of
provocation is that the plea may extenuate even
though it is accepted that, in killing, the
defendant was not seeking to save him or herself
from death or injury. The following information
should enforce the possibility of use of the
provocation defense.
