damage inflicted by Otto whilst being subdued by Spider-Man is not Spider-Man's fault.
Except it is. Because it was his invention that caused Otto to lose such control. There is nothing to indicate that at this point Otto would deliberately have knocked debris over into the crowd. It only happened because of Peter's webbing.
There's no real world comparison but the closest thing would be if let's say a criminal was trying to get away, the policeman shoots out his tires, the criminal loses control and drives his car into the crowd. EDIT: Actually not a policeman as Spider-Man's a vigilante.
Otto may have been committing criminal acts but it was Spider-Man's incompetence at deliberately making someone lose control of a dangerous weapon while innocent bystanders were nearby that caused what happened. It's negligent homicide on his part.
