From the Dallas Morning News:

A prospective juror in a Dallas District Court was surprised by the
definition of voluntary manslaughter given the panel:

	"an intentional killing that occurs while the defendant
	is under the immediate influence of sudden passion arising
	from an adequate cause, such as when a spouse's mate is
	found in a 'compromising position.'"

"See, I have a problem with that passion business," responded 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."

She wasn't selected for the jury.
