He set the stage for this to happen in the only place that it could have happened and he let it happen when he admitted that he could have stopped it by just going outside after he was told that my friend was drunk driving (he also knew that he was only 15).
I doubt anyone here is going to change your mind, but it actually could have happened anywhere. In fact you guys were drinking before you even went to the cemetery. A 15 year old drunk driver could crash on any road.
I have said all I am ggoing to say here. I just hope that seeing everyone's opinion will at least open your eyes to the fact that it was not a "slam dunk" case that your lawyer screwed up, or some crooked judge conspired against you. In fact it seems that due to a complicate set of circumstances it was legally problematic to find someone to collect from, and the jury just felt like you and the driver were responsible for your own actions.
