Yes, most likely the judge and jury did not know why Bock called Scheff a ed con, fraud and what ever else she called her.
Most likely they, the judge and jury, did not see the testimony that Bock posted here on Fornits and the emails exchanged that showed why she believed Scheff was all of those things she called her.
This whole case has become a marketing ploy for Scheff. Her paying all the money she paid for this case to go to court, knowing she would probably never be able to collect a dime, really has been money well spent. Look at all the attention she is getting from it. Good or bad, it is still attention.
According to this news report, Scheff took a second out on her home to pay her legal costs.
--------------------------
Susan Scheff, of Weston, Fla., recently won $11.3 million in a defamation suit against a Louisiana woman who posted messages on the Internet accusing her of being a "crook," a "con artist" and a "fraud."
"I never expect to collect $11.3 million," said Scheff, who took a second mortgage on her home to pay the legal tab. "She went out there and discredited me and destroyed me and my family on the Internet. ... Whenever you Googled me, you saw these things."
Scheff has a business called Parents Universal Resource Experts that helps parents of troubled children find services such as schools.
