False. You can kill someone and not be charged with a crime if it is ruled self defense.

If you are defending yourself and knock somebody out or make them unable to attack you (incapacitate) them, and then after all this is over you walk up to them and cap a bullet right into the middle of their forehead, you can be charged with a crime. Because the point at which you incapacitate them is when you have stopped defending yourself.
"if it is ruled self-defense." In that case, the murder wouldn't be ruled self-defense. At best, you could argue that you were over-taken by emotions. Self-defense isn't supposed to be about KILLING the other guy, but about making it so they can't attack you.
