"Despite the verdict, action against the sugar mill is not over. A separate lawsuit was filed by the families of the other three people killed and will be heard in Willacy County in September."

Sue their lawyers for the legal costs of the trials!

Sounds more like a Darwin Award is in order.

By the time we are adults we are all aware that fire is dangerous!

This obscene; the whole case should be thrown out.

They were ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, people! Stopped in the act of breaking the law. I'm sorry for their families, but you make your choices and take your chances.

Why were they scared to come out? They had nothing but free food, free healthcare, free housing, free legal aide, free schooling and Lord knows what else on my dime awaiting them if they came out.

And this is costing the sugar company how much? I'm glad they didn't settle and hope they can recover their cost. No one wants anyone hurt but we really need a law where you have no right to sue if involved in a crime at the time of an accident. From being here illegally, no insurance while driving to injury while in a burglary. This should have been thrown out.

"A jury on Tuesday took four hours to find the Rio Grande Sugar Growers Inc. not guilty in a case that left six"

4 hours? What happened? Did the jury have an extended lunch break?

This case actually went to court?

The other day a federal judge dismissed a case brought by citizens of the United States, in a legitimate complaint about monetary damages caused by a Kansas law.

That one gets thrown out, while this dizzying stupidity goes forward?

The illegals sued the wrong people.

They should sue the U.S. and Mexican Federal Government and Attorney General Gonzales for failing to enforce the border laws which would have kept their sorry butts out of here in the first place.

If our government enforced the border laws and immigration laws, these people would still be alive today - in South and Central America where they belonged unless they were willing and able to follow our immigration laws to get here.

(I WONDER if they were hiding in that field because the sugar mill was knowlingly hiring illeglas themselves???
HMMMM?????).

Attorneys for the relatives of Mauricio Perez Guzman, Rosa Perez Guzman and Angel Gabriel Pineda, the three people killed, claimed the co-op’s warning system and burning technique were flawed.<<<<

Hell! They probably started the fire..smokin' that funny weed on a break.

The sugar mill should not be held responsible for choices made by the illegal immigrants, who were voluntarily hiding in the fields to avoid immigration officials, according to the co-op’s attorneys.

Someone with some sense.

I swear, most of the time now I feel like Alice in Wonderland! Down is up, up is down....

"Either they did not hear the warning messages, or the messages were not persuasive enough."

Over loud-speaker: "This field will be set on fire in 1 hour. Leave immediately or risk burning to death."

Crimaliens: "Nah, I'm staying."

How "persuasive" does the message have to be? If someone tells me: "Where you are right now is about to be engulfed in flames." I'm leaving!

Mexico needs to add a few more warnings to their "How to invade the US" comic book. Like, "Do not hide in sugar cane fields during harvest time!" and, "Do not attempt to cross the desert during the hot summer months!"

I'm sure our government will give grieving family members a temporary visa to sue US companies or citizens!

Their deaths are really the fault of the Mexican and US governments.
