At that point, Mr. Goens and the other jurors knew only the basic facts: that two years earlier, Stella Liebeck had bought a 49-cent cup of coffee at the drive-in window of an Albuquerque McDonald's, and while removing the lid to add cream and sugar had spilled it, causing third-degree burns of the groin, inner thighs and buttocks. Her suit, filed in state court in Albuquerque, claimed the coffee was "defective" because it was so hot.

OK she was putting cream and sugar in... (to kill the taste of mcdonalds coffee no douby) but to get those burns,s he had to have the coffee balanced between her knees... STUPID... People SHOULD be expected to have a reasonable right to keep themselves safe... you don't jump into a hot bathtub without testng the water... if you burn yourself do you blame the water company?
