It wouldn't be self defense because her attack wasn't to prevent the crime, or to detain anyone until the police got there, it was done as retribution for the crime after it had taken place.
I agree but at the same time I'm pretty sure the police would (or should) sympathize with anyone who lashes out after being attacked. Even if it wasn't required for self defense.
When people get attacked they panic. It's not as if she waited 5 minutes and then walked up to him and punched him. The panic part of her brain understandably responded and lashed out because she was attacked.
If she'd beaten him to a pulp and clearly kept going way past just lashing out quickly that would have been a lot more serious. Attacking someone back after they assault you isn't necessarily retribution... it can be instinct.

Only if you're doing it wrong.
