HALL, Chief Justice:
(concurring specially).
I concur in all portions of the majority opinion except to any extent that it implies in section IIIB that Utah’s manslaughter statute contemplates that emotional disturbances may be triggered by internal stimuli or that a defendant’s subjective state is relevant in determining whether the explanation or excuse for the disturbance is reasonable.1
HOWE, Associate C.J., concurs in the concurring opinion of HALL, C.J.

. See State v. Bishop, 753 P.2d 439, 467-72 (Utah 1988) (proper construction of Utah Code Ann. § 76-5-205(l)(b) (1978 and Supp.1988).
