She's trying to work a compromise that's reasonable all the way around.
blatant careful case confronted difficult hard thinking tried violation
She has tried as hard and she can to get this difficult case right, and then she is confronted with a blatant violation of the rules. She has been careful and cautious, but probably is thinking about some kind of sanction.

More and more people who have been injured or think they've been injured come forward. It takes on a life of its own.
