The plaintiff, Stella Liebeck, is represented as the “Individual Responsibility Narrative,” alluding to the fact that the spilling of the McDonald’s coffee was her doing, and therefore should be liable for the damages caused by the spill.

The criminal in this particular case, Mr. Steven Palladino, manages an ice cream store in his neighborhood of West Roxbury and as such is a widely trusted man.

Having studied finance and finally making his way successfully through college to become a registered stock broker, he makes use of his social status to start in the pursuit of a Ponzi scheme under the appearance of Viking Financial. On the flip side, his investors seem to have unwavering trust in him despite the location of his office, a small space above his ice-cream shop, where their investment is worth millions. Besides this, they disregard police appearance and possible warnings on their investment manager, Palladino’s lavish lifestyle, and fail to look at his record of unethical practice.

After a few weeks of courtship, he would pretend to suddenly find out about a hospital bill from his mother’s death (for he didn’t tell the girls when his mother died) and would sweet talk the girls into giving him the cash needed. A week or two after that he would pretend that he needed more time to grieve over his dead mother to dump the girl. From the time he was twenty to the day he turned twenty-three, this young man had swindled twenty-one girls out of nine-hundred, fifty-seven thousand dollars cash.

He took a slug of bourbon to wash the image out of his mind. One thing he concluded was that Charlie Lowell could not be the brains behind the rum-running operations that functioned so openly on Front Street.
