He knew what they were going to be doing when he got in the passenger seat.

2 people and 2 people ONLY are to blame for Rodas and Walkers deaths. The majority of the responsibility lies with Rodas, but yes, Walker contributed to his own demise.

Bingo. You beat me to it. Porsche isn't anymore liable than the maker of spoons for making people fat. Until this country pulls it together and people start taking responsibility for their actions, we are headed on a precarious course.

Porsche had/has no liability in this case. Unlike Chevrolet with the Cobalt, the car didn't malfunction mechanically to cause the wreck; it would also have to happen more than once. Any car can and will malfunction, the problem is when many of the same make and model malfunction the same way and people get hurt or die. Then yes it is the manufacturer that is at fault.
