I recall that she had a lawyer; McDonalds sent in a team of 5 or 6. At one point they put a dermatologist on the stand as an expert witness to explain how much slower skin heals as you age, and that had she been in her 20s the burn would not have been as bad and would have healed better. After the trial, several jurors said they were outraged; they took the testimony as saying it was her fault for being old. And, as the story pointed out, originally all she wanted was her medical bills to be paid.
