Default judgements are not the thing landmark cases are based upon.
Big waste of time for everyone. Clearly the defendant has no means to pay the judgement and the plaintiff will never see a dime.
She thinks she vindicated herself, and she did no such thing. The other person wasn't there to provide the other side of the story. She simply one by default. She did not prove or win anything.
It is too bad the other lady did not show up, because I suspect the original person probably deserved the comments, and probably easily could have been supported to a degree to have turned the verdict the other way.
