Another fine example of a jury running totally amock. Sounds like the
plaintiff is entitled to some damages, but $11Mil in damages?
Puuuleeze, someone defame me! Of course, she will never collect
anywhere near that amount, but could certainly garnish a portion of the
defendants future income.

Defendant whines that her side didn't get heard. Well, duh, she didn't even
show up.

Even if she couldn't afford a lawyer, couldn't she show up and at least tell
her side of the story? Although she certainly still would have lost...
