Isn't being incredibly, shamefully, naive in a situation you know will be dangerous to yourself and other people a kind of negligence? If someone who didn't know how to drive gets in a car and kills some people is he not at fault?
I sat on a jury before as an alternate for nearly three months.... in a case where a woman drove through a red light and smacked into the side of a fire truck who was trying to clear an intersection on the way to a grass fire.. one of the woman's passengers died and another was seriously injured, as was herself...
In the end, the jury awarded blame to both the woman and the fire truck crew.... blame by percentage. So it is possible that in a civil case all parties can bear some blame... including the ones who attacked Rittenhouse.
So really , it is for the jury to decide if it goes back to trial. I would have to look at all the evidence all over again.
