This, it seems, is a little-known law in Iowa, USA. Your insurance company may not have to pay to defend you from a wrongful death lawsuit if you kill an intruder in your home as you're being attacked.
A change in that state law was suggested in a Wednesday ruling by the Iowa Court of Appeals.
The lawsuit that brought the issue before the court recounts an incident in Early in December 2001 when a woman, who was being attacked in her home, killed a man in self-defense.
