Well, it looks like she's finally get to sue the company, in a real courthouse, over her ordeal.
Her legal saga started after Halliburton failed to take any action against her alleged attackers, and the Justice Department and military also failed to prosecute. Jones then tried to sue the company for failing to protect her.
