About half his cases came about when they were extracting a drunk, and the dummy would attempt to run back into the bar. It makes no sense but that's what happened.
The second most likely cause appeared to be that a guy got shot down when hitting on a woman, or alternatively a relationship broke up, and the guy started a fight as a substitute for his sexual issues.
The lawyer also mentions that in general guys were always willing to hit women, and some drunken women were more then happy to start fights against men who were substantially larger then them.
His experience was from the 1990s, so there were less cameras then there were now, but the fights he saw would last 60 seconds or less. Typically one person would gain the advantage and pummel the other, none of the back and forth John Wayne western movie fighting. (Yes Payton Quinn and Mac McYoung long ago made this observation in print.)
Witnesses and especially plaintiffs would inevitably lie, tell inconsistant statements, and impeach themselves when compared to statements they had given at the time of the brawl.
None of this is shocking, but I don't think things have changed much since 1990s, LA which is when and where he handled these cases.
