#It was tried recently with the move to hold gun manufacturer's liable for
#criminal use of their product
# If failed
I remeber at about the same time as one of the cities filed their suit
that a group in Arizona announced that they were going to file a suit
against Chevrolet since they were liable for criminal use of their
products. After all, you need a car to committ DUI. And I think you
also need a car to do a drive-by. I think it was more of a "reducto
ad absurdum" case that was never filed. But, as absured as it was
reduced to, I think the point was equally "valid". Bars have been
held responsible for letting drunks out to drive, but I've never heard
of Budweiser being held responsible (although serving Bud Light is a
criminal act in and of itself, IMnsHO)

Please do.
Italian law holds that, even for an accident, someone is to blame. Ask
