Description
1. Trial court, in instructing jury on heat-of-passion manslaughter, should follow the words of the statute; adequacy of provocation is to be judged from the perspective of a ""person of ordinary self-control under like circumstances,"" not from the perspective of a ""sober person of ordinary self-control under like circumstances."" 2. Trial court did not abuse its discretion in allowing the prosecutor to impeach defendant's credibility with facts underlying his prior conviction, where defendant ""opened the door"" to such inquiry.
