I still think that the farm owners by letting the unlicensed help use the vehicle resulting in a death, liability it there. The vehicle is what was used to abduct and transport. The vehicle is the one piece of evidence from the film that led LE to Rivera. That vehicle was used to commit crimes by an employee that worked for the farm owners.
I think about my daughter and it would be my decision, in that case it would not matter to me what I had to do to get justice for her, holding the criminal accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Holding the farm owners responsible for their negligence would be based on justice for the loss of my one and only child/ daughter. I recognize that this family may not do this and that is their decision. I on the other hand would make sure to hold every single entity responsible that had any part in or that led to the loss of my daughter.
When I was hit age 27 and badly injured almost killed by a three time arrested drunk driver, my father went and hired the best legal in our town, everyone involved was taken to court, including the bar that served him. It worked out better covering ever base legally. The bar was oh so sorry for their part, my father could have cared less how they felt... the judgement was punitive and sometimes that’s really the only thing these businesses understand monetary loss, which was six figures. The drunk driver well his inheritance was the family home, guess what my dad did? People matter in our family, and so does the law. If your illegal behavior leads to injury or death in my family, just see you in court.
