All fights are dangerous and are an inappropriate means to resolve conflict.
And the mentality that combatants should be left to duke it out must end. Joseph S. Fogg, of York, Maine, is charged with causing Smith's death. This is something the defense attorney, Peter Taylor, says Fogg readily admits. While the determination as to the level of Fogg's culpability for his actions is in the hands of the legal system, Taylor says his client's current circumstances prove even one punch has its consequences. It appears that these kinds of fights are quite common in certain parts of Portsmouth and what this case proves is those fights are very dangerous.
