The defensive tactic of claiming a role which investigates as guilty to respond to a guilty investigation without attacking the investigator. Although there are occasionally pro-town roles that do appear guilty to investigations (such as millers), the person in question usually gets lynched eventually. This name comes from PolarBoy claiming Landscaper on Day 1 of Beach Resort Mafia; the first line of his claim post was "I guess you found my chainsaw."
This could also be called the "Cochran Defense" (or Sketchwick's Gambit), as he used it in Improbable Role Mafia when he claimed Johnny Cochran, a lawyer who is innocent, but appears guilty. In that game, he was actually "mafia lawyer".
