As in, you can kill the guy if you catch them in the act?!
Yup, sounds like it. I think this is what the French call "a crime of passion". The idea is that the moment is so enraging that one cannot be held accountable for one's actions in that moment. It's a kind of, "fuck around and find out," law.
No I think this definitively qualifies as fuck around and find out.
Not if you are a wife and catch your husband though.
It should be a minimal crime either way.
In the case of the law, it did not have to be done in the heat of the moment. You could all take a few minutes, put your clothes on, have some snacks and drinks while you talk it all over. A few hours later, tell everyone you're getting up to go to the restroom so they don't get suspicious. Get your rifle, and then go back to the dining room and shoot the guy in the face. All legal.
I'm okay with this. Maybe just manslaughter.
