This refers to voluntary manslaughter, which is a killing that occurs when an offender is provoked into acting immediately in a way that they would normally not act, typically involving a situation where there is a high level of emotional heat or passion involved. This differs from involuntary manslaughter, which refers to a killing that occurs without intent or malice, but rather as a result of reckless or negligent conduct.
