Really, though, you do have to admit that she brought it entirely upon her own head. She was offered a reasonable out-of-court settlement, refused it, and then tried to make a fool out of the jury, which the jury duly punished her for. In any legal system in which damages are decided by the jury, that sort of thing is liable to happen.
