Associated Press-A jury awarded 
a woman $150,000 after she sued her former fiancé for leaving her before the wedding. It was the case of the jilted bride for a jury in Gainesville, Georgia. Rosemary Shell sued former fiancé Wayne Gibbs for $150,000. SOT: Rosemary Shell, Jilted Bride: "this has been the most difficult thing I've ever had to do and i think justice has been served." Atlanta TV station, WSB, reports in the end, the jury agreed with Shell. She and her lawyer left the courthouse victorious. Her lawyer says the wedding was a scam from the beginning. Lydia Sartain, Attorney for Jilted Bride: "he never intended to marry her but it cost her tremendous amount financially." Shell says she left a job paying $80,000 a year to move closer to Gibbs. She ended up with a job that paid just $30,000 -- then he dumped her. Shell: "financially he destroyed me. Just a lot of ways and people shouldn't be allowed to do that. Hopefully, he'll think twice before he does it to someone else." After the verdict, one of the jurors said she didn't really think Shell deserved the money, but she gave in to the other jurors. Delitha Smith, Juror: "he'd done paid her a bundle along with the engagement ring. That was really worth a lot of money that she could've hocked." As for the former groom... he didn't say a word.
