JEST FOR FUN

A prospective juror in a Dallas District Court was surprised by the definitione of voluntary manslaughter given the panel: "An intentioneal killing that occurs while the defendant is under the immediate influence of sudden passione arising from an adequate cause, such as when a spouse's mate is found in a 'compromising positione.'" "See, I have a problem with that passione business," responeded the 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."
