: The Volokh Conspiracy?In the Lawful Defense of the Slayer?
By Eugene Volokh
Buffy fans might be pleased to know that Nevada self-defense law and Washington self-defense law state that homicide is ?justifiable when committed? ?[i]n the lawful defense of the slayer.? Well, all state laws say that in essence, but Nevada and Washington actually use the word ?slayer.?
Those with a taste for the vivid might also consider the word ?manslaughterer,? which is not mentioned in any American statutes but does appear in 10 cases (according to Westlaw).
