It generally gets called manslaughter here, depending on the circumstances, there is prison time involved. If you feel as if your life is endangered, and the actions you take lead to the death of your assailent, you generally will not be charged, but there could be an acception to the rule, however if you get attacked, and there is no threat to your life, and you kill the person, odds are you are gonna be charged with manslaughter. That is the way I've been taught anyways
