You can't? Oh, well, I guess that solves that issue!

Bock, who had to leave her home for several months because of Hurricane Katrina, couldn't afford an attorney and didn't show up for the trial.

A rich person sued a poor person who didn't have an attorney and didn't go to the trial. Why is the verdict a suprise or even news at all?

I fail to see the problem, beyond the whole trainwreck of the defendant not being served papers properly. The plaintiff was apparently running a business and the defendant advertised that her business was defrauding people. Whether the claim of fraud has merit we do not know due to the fact that the defendant didn't actually field a defense. This wasn't about hurt feelings primarily and would not even be an issue if it weren't on the internet.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Suing a hurricane Katrina victim too poor to afford a lawyer? For defamation? That's like committing suicide to thwart an assasination attempt.
