COOLnSTG TIME

Time for passion to subside and reason prevail; time for reflection. A man, when assailed with violence or great rudeness, is inspired with » sudden impulse of anger, which puts him upon resistance before he has had time for cool reflection. If, during that period, he attacks his assailant with a weapon likely to endanger his life, and death ensues, it is regarded as done through heat of blood or violence of anger, and not throueh malice." See Halice; Pbovocation.
