She also tried to argue there was a design defect due to the Carrera GT's lack of a racing fuel, causing a fire after the crash. Again, the judge ruled that "undisputed evidence shows Rodas did not die from fire or sustain any injuries from fire prior to his death."
Finally, Kristine's last claim alleged "failure of the suspension component" in which the judge simply ruled there just wasn't enough evidence to find Porsche at fault.
Despite the outcome of this trial, it may not have an impact on the wrongful lawsuit Walker's daughter, Meadow, filed a against Porsche.
Meadow's attorney, Jeff Milam, released a statement to E! News saying, "The issues in the cases are very different. The federal case was filed on behalf of Roger Rodas, who was the driver of the Porsche Carrera GT and was killed instantly upon impact. Meadow's father, Paul Walker, was a passenger in the car. He survived the crash but was trapped and burned to death because of the vehicle's defects."
Thus, he adds, "Meadow will continue the fight to hold Porsche accountable for selling a defective product that kills."
