BUT, he's surrounded and she charges in with her fists raised - I think an argument can be made that he was defending himself.
Thoughts?

ok, he's obviously defending himself but why would a 6 foot 200pound plus guy feel threatened by a short 100 pound girl? He could have killed her with a punch or she could have suffered brain trauma from the concrete.
Is defending yourself against someone with a fraction of your strength worth going to prison over? Bad choice.
