"To corporate criminals like McDonalds, you and I are statistically insignificant."

Stella Liebeck was victimized twice. Burned over 16% of her body, 6% were 3rd degree burns… McDonald's refused two reasonable settlements…. $200 thousand dollars was reduced to $160 thousand dollars in compensatory damages… Punitive damages were added which overshadowed the facts which went unreported…


"Obviously a villain, right?"

Tort reform based on totally inacurate information, Less than $500 thousand dollars was the award and bad perception haunted this woman… sigh
