    While detailing the incident in court, per The Telegraph, prosecutors said Duncan visited a Popeyes location in Macon, where he had previously worked, to pick up his last paycheck.

    According to prosecutors, after Duncan walked in, he grabbed a pot of grease and dipped it in the fryer, before he then tossed it at another employee, Kelvin Early.

    Per The Telegraph, Early was left with second and third-degree burns.

    Three years seems a bit light. That’s a horrific thing to do to someone. Oil and grease burns are no joke, it will mess you up.

      Well in a country where partaking in a coup attempt gets you a couple years, it seems spot on!

      I got second-degree oil burns last summer and my arm and chest scarred from it. The pain was unreal. My skin was cooking for like 8 hours after the accident and it took a really long time to heal. I can’t imagine what third-degree oil and grease burns are like

      You’re right. All I can think is that maybe the burned area wasn’t very large.

        The intent was still there. That’s like shooting someone but you only hit the toe.

          Yeah. The legal system can be pretty inconsistent and mystifying. I’d like to know more about the injury, and the reasoning behind the sentence.
