Yes he's an idiot, but he is probably
repeating something that he heard on TV,
maybe from a reporter who didn't know
what they were talking about, either.
(Normally, reporters are super-idiots.)
Or maybe some lawyer analyst used the
word on TV and didn't explain it well.
"Provocation" is not a "charge".
It certain parts of the law that deal
with reasons why homicide might not
be murder. If a homicide is not clearly
self-defense, it might have been provoked.
You're allowed to defend yourself with
deadly force. The main predicate is that
a hypothetical reasonable person would be
in mortal fear. There are other rules
that vary from state to state.
(For example, details about whether you
have a "duty to retreat" or whether you
can "stand your ground".)
If it's true self-defense, you walk.
But if it is murkier, you might still
get off, or at least convicted on a
lesser charge like manslaughter.
Even if you were not in any danger
at all, but were overtaken by the
heat of the moment.
The classic example is someone walking
in on their wife having sex with the
BBC UPS driver, and you shoot them dead.
That would normally be murder, because
you can't just go around killing people
because you're mad, bro. But it can be
a "provocation" that under state law
allows them to convict you of manslaughter
instead. (Although if you were in Texas,
you just totally walk, or so they say LOL.)
Another example is when you sue your wife
for divorce because she was fucking the BBC.
She can defend against that point by saying
she was provoked, because you weren't giving
it to her ("abandonment") because you were
always in your basement den jerking off
to Tiffani Thiessen.
I only listened to part of the trial last
week, where the prosecution kept alternating
between making the case for the defense and
doing outrageous things and getting yelled
at by the judge. Obviously trying to cause
a mistrial, which would go over better than
losing and being blamed for bringing a bogus
case that should never have been charged.
