If convicted due to the fact there was bodily injury and property damage criminal charges could apply. But also, (in NJ at least) liability could transfer. You stated he was drinking through the day but stopped someplace I believe you said a watering hole? That being the case liability could have transfered to the establishment or partial as McLovin stated. Contributory negligence. It seems that didn't occur as your buddy has the judgment. Unless there is another judgment?
That we don't know.
