First, I suspect what we have here is someone who is way too dramatic. She needs to get a grip.
Second, the fact that she was originally from the North means nothing. There are plenty of stupid Southern juries out there. Most of the “jackpot” tort and product liability verdicts used to come from the South.
Finally, WTF was this woman thinking? Did she think she could render a verdict like this and not be criticized? More evidence of stupidity.
I have to agree with you.
