... in a court of law.  Funny how people forget that last part.

That said... if he did to it... he was on break.

Could he of did something that would of helped?  Maybe.  Maybe not... but he wasn't obligated to. 

If he tried to help but it didn't help... would his insurance cover lawsuits?  They usually don't when your working off the company time.

If he did it... it was a pretty douchey thing to do... but i'm not ready to judge based on a very limited understanding of the situation.

what do you mean from the first line?

Also the Good Samartin Law would have protected him from lawsuits in case of any wrong doing.

I mean, it's in a court of law.  It has nothing to do with day to day being judged.  You can often be treated guilty without proven in outside of a court of law.  For example if something goes missing at an office and they're pretty sure it was you who took it they can fire you.

Innocent until proven guilty is only used that way because the other way would be more unfair when it comes to harsh legal penalties.

As for good samartian laws.  They vary from state to state and are disgarded if it's considered the person acted "recklessly.
