As in, you can kill the guy if you catch them in the act?!

Yup, sounds like it. I think this is what the French call "a crime of passion". The idea is that the moment is so enraging that one cannot be held accountable for one's actions in that moment. It's a kind of, "fuck around and find out," law.

Not if you are a wife and catch your husband though.
