Note from the author:
Drag and Drop the proper example(s) of voluntary manslaughter into the bucket. Also Categorize the other crimes if you can

1. Malice = intent to kill
2. Adequate Provocation - a Reasonable Person would lose control // Heat of Passion = Uncontrollable Emotional Response
3. No Cooling Off Period = an almost immediate reaction - no time to think through / plan / or consider
