UJI 14-222. Sufficient provocation; defined.
“Sufficient provocation” can be any action, conduct or circumstances which arouse
anger, rage, fear, sudden resentment, terror or other extreme emotions. The
provocation must be such as would affect the ability to reason and to cause a temporary
loss of self-control in an ordinary person of average disposition. The “provocation” is not
sufficient if an ordinary person would have cooled off before acting.
