How have the courts interpreted the instructions in the context of manslaughter instructions in cases where the instruction was limited or limited?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Spurlin, 156 Cal.App.3d 119, 202 Cal.Rptr. 663 (Cal. App. 1984):

3 People v. Saterfield (1967) 65 Cal.2d 752, 759-760, 56 Cal.Rptr. 338, 423 P.2d 266, limited manslaughter instructions to the death of a wife killed by her husband who claimed provocation and denied the instruction as to a daughter killed by the defendant while she telephoned the police. No defense was offered by the defendant on the guilt phase and there was nothing in the People's case to permit any inference of manslaughter on any theory as to the daughter's death.
