    The instant guilty verdict indicates that the jury concluded either: (1) that the initial confrontation at the K S Store and the subsequent confrontation at the LaFloridan Motel were not sufficient provocation to deprive an average person of his self-control and cool reflection; or (2) that an average person's blood would have cooled before the defendant stabbed the victim. See State v. Maddox, 522 So.2d 579, 582 (La.App. 1st Cir. 1988). We have carefully reviewed the record and find that the evidence supports the jury's determination.
