You know, I'm a little irritated with all the hand-wringing on this thread about "poor Jodi"...
At the minimum, she knows what she got herself into; at the worst, she was in on it from the get go. Divorcing her first husband because HER father was killed in an auto accident? Two, not one but TWO, out-of-court settlements on her own accidents?
Flowing white dress, my a**.
Jodi knew what was going on and obviously was not turned off by it and supported Michael. Why else did she refuse to give a deposition - and the judge let her get away with it? And why so camera shy? Afraid of being recognized or saving a plug for Michael's book?
Out of court is the most common way personal injury lawsuits are settled. It is a small minority that goes to verdict.
