Falsely Accused McDonald's Worker Wins $437 Thousand Settlement in 10 yr Old Glass Shards Burger Case

10 years ago, Albert Garcia, 18yrs old at that time was working at McDonald's in NYC when NYC Police Officer John Florio accused him of putting glass shards on his burger. Florio sued the franchisee and McDonald's but was only awarded $15,000.00 because his story was full of inconsistencies. Originally, Florio sued for $6 million, wow, that's a lot for some glass on a burger. Florio went to the hospital and was tested and found not to have any adverse effects. Garcia only has an IQ of 81, one would guess that he is not smart enough to think of a plan like this to assault an officer? eh? Anyway, due to the inconsistent Deposition given by the Officer Florio and new information that Garcia was late to work that fateful night, NY's highest court heard the case and then awarded Garcia the $437, 000.00 settlement. YEAH! Garcia has been totally vindicated. I think Officer Florio should have to pay back the $15K and he should be brought up on charges of fraud! Clearly he lied when he identified Garcia as the one who served him his burger. I am really glad that justice was finally served in this case, maybe not 100 % because Florio needs to be charged, but at least now everyone knows that Garcia didn't put glass on a burger that night. Thank God Garcia doesn't have that hanging over his head any longer. Good luck Albert.
