Too bad for you. Or when you are electrocuted by a defective toaster you should accept the responsibility that it was your decision to have toast with your eggs and just live with the consequences. Or when you are poisoned by tainted chicken, just accept the responsibility and realize you should have eaten beef. I guess in your perfect world it would always be the fault of the person who is injured or killed. After all, they could have made a different decision. I'm just glad I don't live in your world.
I realize that this stuff hits pretty close to home for you Link and I am certain that Walker's attorneys will win a significant settlement from both Rodas estate and Porsche. From all the preliminary evidence it looks like they were going roughly 100 mph over the speed limit on that street. Any time you are 100 over and you hit a fixed object, bad things happen. I suspect that this car did not get there by itself and it could have easily been any high performance sports car. Someone had to pull the trigger and at this point it looks like Rodas.
