It does bring up a good point though.

If you do stab someone in self defense, and do not kill him, you can be held liable for his injuries in civil court.

If you stab him to death you will be tried in criminal court, since, as was said, the chance of getting a single fatal blow in with a knive is very slim.

Pretty much a lose/lose situation.
