But what didn't get as widely reported, because it wasn't anywhere near as
sensational, is that the appeals court knocked the award down to something
much more reasonable.  I forget the exact amount, but given that she had to
undergo skin grafts and other painful burn treatments, it seemed fair.

And that's the REST of the story.
