The wait is over and In Summation - The Final Word is back.
At the request of a listener (thanks Ben!), in this episode we tackle a case which has really become THE case that people bring up when discussing how litigious American people are. We've all heard the story of the woman who spilled McDonald's hot coffee on herself and sued the company for millions.
But as you'll see, the narrative of what really happened to Stella Liebeck, the plaintiff in that suit, has dramatically changed over time. She has gone from being the victim to a greedy opporuntist who manipulated a broken court system for her own personal gains.
Before you make any judgments, listen to what really happened, and how Liebeck's life changed as a result of this case.
As this is a civil case and I do not frequently litigate in the civil courts, Paul asks for a bit of understanding if you have additional questions. He will, as always, respond, but if it requires additional research on his end it may not be as quick as listeners are accustomed to.
Sit back and enjoy.
