Um...

A- Coffee is a hot liquid, because water is boiled in the manufacturing
process.
B- If you spill a hot liquid on yourself, you will suffer some sort of
discomfort or injury.

If my mother/grandmother/sister were to spill hot coffee on themself, I
would be compassionate, but would not hold a restaurant responsible.
See A and B above.

If more people took responsibility for their own actions, the would would be
a happier and more reasonably priced experience.

(sic) he had control of the coffee before she burned herself.

A concealed danger she was unaware of, although McDonald's was VERY
aware and gave no warnings. This must be the evidence of negligence
the jury found.

If you see all the facts in the correct time frame and context the jury
decision seems like common sense.

Just be happy it wasn't YOUR mother or grandmother that was burned.
