Everyone that has posted so far is correct. But, it's not the jury's fault, it's the legal system. I can hear the girl's attorney (no doubt Jackie Childs) showing numerous cases brought against utility companies who had been told countless times to move their poles but didn't. You can also bet that they provided evidence that VW was told to make their seatbelts more adjustable for height or something else ridiculous like that. The bottom line, they plaintiff's attorneys did a better job making 12 people believe that everyone else was at fault instead of the defense who must not have been as convincing or couldn't disprove the slickness of who the girl hired. She had everything to gain and nothing to lose. She only had to pay her attorneys "if we get money for you!"
