Jurors have reached a verdict in the Sacramento case: Jennifer Strange’s family will get $16.5 million dollars. In 2007, this young mother of three took part in a contest organized by the local radio station: the person who drinks the most water wins a Wii. Well motivated, Jennifer drank two gallons, felt ill, and died. The radio station had been warned about the hazard of drinking too much water, but had decided to proceed with the context anyway. Today, the $16.5 million fine feels very real.
