Self-defense is a justification and a defense to use force against another person, but only to the extent necessary to protect yourself. If the court finds that the level of force exceeded that extent and resulted in the death of another, then involuntary manslaughter is a possible charge. Voluntary manslaughter would be more likely, since the action was willful, even if you didn't intend to kill.
