self preservation

I found myself in a discussion today about being sued by an attacker that you only wounded. I advised not to "finish off" an incapacitated attacker because that would be murder. I also assured them that under KY. law, if the force you used was found to be justifiable, then you would be shielded against civil suit from your would be attacker. When I was asked to produce said law, I immediately pulled up the "castle doctrine" only to be surprised that no such statement was in the law. So I went to the sticky "KY gun laws" section of this forum and started looking. Either I have overlooked such a statement, or I imagined that such an immunity existed for justifiable uses of force. Can anyone advice on this?
