The court heard how the Porsche had been driven by Walker's friend, Roger Rodas, whose widow, Kristine, also brought a separate suit before district court judge Philip S. Gutierrez.
The car was ruled to have not malfunctioned. While Rodas' legal team attempted to argue that a "properly functioning crash cage" could have saved Rodas' and Walker's lives, the defendants argued the injuries that later caused Walker's death were caused by a "fatal collision" between the passengers, and not by faulty parts.
Another claim - "failure of the suspension component" - was also ruled to not be Porsche's responsibility. Post-trial, Judge Gutierrez wrote the following about the strength of the claim:
"The plaintiff has provided no competent evidence that Rodas' death occurred as a result of any wrongdoing on the part of defendant."Investigators say the vehicle may have been travelling at up to 150kph (94mph) when it crashed. [caption id="attachment_50855" align="alignnone" width="594"]
