Last amended: 2025Year: 2025Length: 63 wordsOfficial source
“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.
