Completely ignoring self-defense

Again, the actual statute:

b) When Provocation is adequate
i. Being subjected to a serious battery or a threat of deadly force; and
ii. Discovering one’s spouse in bed with another person.

None of the statutory provocation exceptions needed for a manslaughter defense are present.

"They broke my porch door so I gets to shotgun 'em."

Only a lunatic or a blind zealot would consider that a defense.

Yup, incapable of rational thought and dealing with the evidence that points to his innocence. I gave you the actual law in both tort and criminal law, in Maryland law and other, and you simply ignore them, attacking them emotionally instead. And you come up with this statute, giving no reference to it, and calling it the actual statute. Oh well, been nice talking with you.
