A 3-minute verified explainer on Liebeck v. McDonald's (1994) — the most misquoted lawsuit in America. The actual facts from the record: 190-degree coffee, third-degree burns and skin grafts, the $800 settlement offer, 700 prior complaints in evidence, the jury's reasoning, and the verdict cut on appeal. How a tort-reform campaign rewrote it into a punchline — receipts on screen.
