Why any limitations be imposed on the type of provocation


Problem: Since voluntary manslaughter is viewed as a crime of passion, why should any limitations be imposed on the type of provocation that moves the defendant to the heat of passion? Although few people would sympathize with a bad-tempered restaurant patron (Michael) who flies into a killing rage and kills the chef because of an overcooked steak, isn't this "hot-blooded" killer still distinct from a "cold-blooded" killer? Choose a side (prosecutor or defense attorney) and argue why or why not Michael should be charged with voluntary manslaughter.
