A two-panel comic. Panel one: a brown-haired woman (apparently a defense lawyer) coaches a bald man in an orange inmate jumpsuit, saying, "Now remember, you didn't KILL her. It was an accident. And what do we call that?" He answers, "Manslaughter," and she replies, "Very good." Panel two, captioned "Subsequently...": the same man is now testifying on the witness stand before a judge, and instead of using the term correctly he blurts, "And then I manslaughtered her! Right in the face!" The aftercomic (votey) is a close-up of the man's face shouting, "With my wife-killin' knife!", confirming the coaching backfired completely.
