A prospective¹ juror in a Dallas District Court was surprised by the definition of voluntary manslaughter given the panel: "An intentional² killing³ that occurs while the defendant⁴ is under the immediate⁵ influence of sudden passion arising from an adequate cause, such as when a spouse's mate is found in a 'compromising position.'"

"See, I have a problem with that passion business," responded one jury candidate. "During my first marriage, I came in and found my husband in bed with my neighbor. All I did was divorce him. I had no idea that I could have shot him!"

Needless to say, she wasn't selected for the jury.
