Rowland v. State

Rowland (defendant) discovered his separated wife, Becky, in the act of adultery with another man, Thorn, after growing suspicious upon seeing a horse tied outside and hearing voices in a locked spare room; Rowland fired at Thorn, missed, and instead killed Becky. At trial, the court instructed the jury only on murder, without any manslaughter instruction, and Rowland was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
