MALLETT, J.

INTRODUCTION

We granted leave in this case to determine whether the evidence described by the appellee as provocation was sufficient to require the trial judge to give the requested voluntary manslaughter instructions.

We reverse the decision of the Court of Appeals, reinstate the decision of the trial court, and hold that the evidence at trial did not support giving this instruction.
