So how much trouble do I get in if I kill a member of a best friend's biological family because the creature in question is deliberately poisoning the lives of everyone around her?

Homicide, n. The slaying of one human being by another. There are four kinds of homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable and praiseworthy, but it makes no great difference to the person slain whether he fell by one kind or another—the classification is for the advantage of lawyers.

Provide a plausible alibi beyond "she deserved it!" and you might get away with it. Shouting "she's coming right at us!" may gain you points if you live in backwoods Colorado.

Beyond the moral tragedy, I'd say the above statement would be compelling evidence for murder in the first degree, which would carry the minimum sentence of 30 years in Ohio.
