Good question. That's why I think she should have focused on mental distress damages (and should have been advised to see a psychologist to substantiate those damages) instead of focusing on economic damages.
I never said anything of the sort. I don't think there has been any indication that her life has been ruined by anyone. But, to the extent she has suffered damages from people thinking she might really have been Casey's nanny, these damages were caused in part by her attorneys (1) falsely claiming in legal papers that her name was Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez, and (2) falsely claiming in the media that ZG's life "matched" numerous details provided by Casey to LE, including type of vehicle, names of kids, etc. These falsehoods might have led people who were not paying too much attention to think "well, maybe she is 'the' ZFG after all."
What I was referring to in previous post...

2) any damage to ZG's life was caused as much or more by her own and her lawyer's behaviors than by Casey's evil lies.
BBM- sorry, was using "ruin" in lieu of damage to her life. I was proud of ZG in coming forward. I don't see how that harmed her. And, for the record, I didn't put much stock in this suit...not until I heard the short clip of the depo. As far as attorneys writing falsehoods (you aside, of course), from my personal experience I have seen how attorneys effortlessly twist words (ever meet a divorce attorney who didn't claim falsehoods?). The "F"...nah, that doesn't bother me either, nor do I see how that hurt her. But, that's just MPO.
ETA: yikes...so many broken quotes! Sorry.
