The caretaker that lived back there allowed parties back there, allowed us to drink, and even provided the alcohol at times. He let anything go on back there.
The case was against the driver's parents because they let him do anything he wanted and just be a maniac.
However, since you'd like to use it as if the case were against the driver himself, I did get in the car. However, we were back at the party in the cemetery just sitting in the car with people around, and I said that we should leave and go pick-up my girlfriend up in Devou Park. The driver didn't like that idea because he didn't feel safe on the public roads but felt safe driving in the cemetery (which goes further to prove their responsibility in the matter), so he did a 180, and started speeding through the cemetery against my will, which is how we wrecked.
Yes, I knowingly got in the car, but how often do you knowingly get in the car with people (your best friend, no-less), trusting them, and then have them take you on an unexpected joy ride going over 55 mph through somewhere as dangerous to drive as a cemetery?
Who says the gates are supposed to be locked?Where is that law? Do you think unlocked gates give you permission to trespass?
