How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the “evidence was insufficient as a matter of law to prove ‘heat of passion’” where “at most,” the appellant and victim “exchanged ‘harsh words’ before the attack”
• finding that in order to maintain a heat-of-passion defense, the defendant must prove that he committed the crime with \passion\ and upon \reasonable provocation\
• holding that the trial court was not required to instruct the jury on heat of passion because the evidence in the record showed only that defendant and the victim exchanged “harsh words” before defendant slashed the victim’s face with “a shiny object”
