How have courts interpreted the law in the context of "provocative act murder"?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Gonzalez, 118 Cal.Rptr.3d 637 (Cal. App. 2011):
13 Perla cites People v. Keys (1944) 62 Cal.App.2d 903, 916, 145 P.2d 589, as her only support the trial court erred when it failed to give the self-defense instruction. However, People v. Keys has absolutely nothing to do with provocative act murder, and thus is inapposite here.
