39.1 Manslaughter Voluntary 18 USC § 1112 Title 18, United States Code, Section 1112, makes it a Federal crimeor offense for anyone to commit voluntary manslaughter - - that is, the unlawful and intentional killing of a human being without malice upon a sudden quarrel or heat of passion - - whenever the offense occurs within the [special maritime] [territorial] jurisdiction of the United States. The Defendant can be found guilty of that offense only if all of the following facts are proved beyond a reasonable doubt:First: That the victim named in the indictment is dead;Second: That the Defendant caused the death of the victim, as charged;Third: That the Defendant so acted intentionally, but in the heat of passion caused by adequate provocation; andFourth: That the killing occurred within t he [special maritime] [territorial] jurisdiction of the United States. The phrase "in the heat of passion" means an emotional state that is generally provoked or induced by anger, fear, terror, or rage. In order for this provocation t o be an " adequate provocation," it must be of a kind that would naturally cause a reasonable person to temporarily lose self control and to commit the act upon impulse and without reflection. You are instructed that the location of the alleged murder, as described in the indictment, if you find beyond a reasonable doubt that such offense occurred there, would be within the [special maritime] [territorial] jurisdiction of the United States.
