Kly, you deal with cases that include provocation as a defense. I don't see the number of such cases slowing down. As time goes by, we add more and more to our pantheon of things that provoke us. However, I see provocation, real or not, as just an excuse for a lack of self control. I think it ought to be eliminated as a defense. By the way, doesn't provocation as a defense have its roots in common law?
