Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In this scenario, A's action of firing a pistol was a direct response to the grave and sudden provocation by Y. Although A's intention might have been to harm Y, the death of Z as a bystander makes it a case of culpable homicide. This is because A's actions led to death, but the intention to kill was not directed at Z. The sudden provocation mitigates the offense from murder to culpable homicide.
