I guess, similar in nature to a "crime of passion" would be considered? Say you saw adult punch your child in the face, you'd possibly go berserk and maybe, unintentionally kill that person.

Don't you mean, some guy accidentally slipped his penis into your wifes vagina. That's a crime of passion!

Most likely the child deserved it. (He said half jokingly)

I was going to use that example, but then realized that this could turn into a debate on fetishes and what could drive somebody into a rage, might drive another into the bed along with them

I figured your child being beaten by a stranger would be more of a universal psychotic-level rage inducer. Until of course you came along and challenged that assumption.

From the definition above only murder 1 is premeditated. Your child scenario would IMO involve beating someone with your fists or hitting someone and they hit the ground and died. I juat dont see how you can stab someone without intent to kill. Its a knife. Youre stabbing them. It will kill them in most circumstances.
