A cop who sued Starbucks seeking a $750,000 payday after he spilled a free cup of coffee they gave him on himself is not entitled to a free lunch as well, a North Carolina jury has ruled. From WTVD: A jury has decided that Starbucks is not liable for burns that a Raleigh police officer received when a cup of hot coffee spilled on his lap.Here's some comedy for you from the cop's lawyer: "When you've heard about Matt's life and his career," Kohr's lawyer asked jurors, "what words have been used to describe him? Strong proud, determined, a hard-working cop, a leader, a loving husband, an involved father. What words have we heard used to describe Matt after he suffered this injury? Pitiful, a mess, crying like a little girl, acting like he's got a few days to live."I guess the jurors didn't find it credible that after spilling the coffee on himself he went home to take photographs of his injuries rather than rush to the ER, taking some two and a half hours off before he visited a hospital. No doubt he will have a lot more crying to do after reality sets in. |
