Appellate court held appellant could not rely on Exception 4 (sudden fight) because the violence and pursuit were protracted and there was a cooling-off period and use of a vehicle was an unfair/ cruel advantage; however the provocation at the final stage (deceased striking the vehicle with a baseball bat) satisfied Exception 1 (grave and sudden provocation) so the proper conviction is culpable homicide not amounting to murder under s304(a) Kanun Keseksaan; accordingly the conviction and 16-year sentence imposed by the High Court were affirmed.
