Nevada Revised Statutes Title 3. Remedies; Special Actions and Proceedings § 41B.210. Acts constituting felonious and intentional killing; insanity or diminished capacity

1. A killing is “felonious” if it is committed without legal excuse or justification.

2. A killing is “intentional” if it is caused by or occurs during the commission of any act which involves a degree of culpability that is greater than criminal negligence.

3. Insanity or diminished capacity shall be deemed not to be a legal excuse or justification and must not be considered in determining whether a killing is felonious or intentional.
