A "crime of passion" is not a justifiable legal defense. A person can't get off based on that. The only way they could get off in a case like that would be if they claimed "not guilty by reason of temporary insanity" and that defense rarely works nowadays.
I don't think I've seen a single case in the last 20 years of a person getting off who killed their spouse and their spouse's lover.
