From the original complaint this trial: Trump seeks to stop second E. Jean Carroll lawsuit JUNE 7, 2023 In a filing last month, Carroll's attorneys sought to amend the earlier lawsuit to add a new defamation claim after Trump trashed her as a “wack job” at a CNN town hall after the verdict last month. The proposed amended suit also changed mentions of "rape" to "sexual abuse" or "sexual assault." Trump's filing notes the amended complaint removed 71 uses of the word "rape." Trump lawyer Alina Habba said in a statement that Carroll was trying to "retrofit" her lawsuit "while blatantly ignoring the portion that undermines the viability of her claim." "Faced with the Carroll II jury's rejection of her rape accusation, Ms. Carroll now seeks to remove nearly every reference of the word 'rape' in her complaint and abandon the narrative she has conveyed to the public for years," Habba said. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-seeks-stop-second-e-jean-carroll-lawsuit-rcna87921

An appeal is not a trial. Jamie Foxx aside, there is an incongruity in that few if any one-off cases under the NY State law do not give a date so that the defendant is at least allowed the possibility of entering an alibi. No date; no alibi. < She told the jury that she first met Trump in 1987 -- but she struggled to pinpoint the date that she alleges he attacked her, which she estimated was sometime around 1996. < "And why is there no date to an event as significant as this in someone's life?" defense attorney Joe Tacopina countered. "It's not a coincidence. With no date, no month, no year, you can't present an alibi." https://abc7chicago.com/e-jean-carroll-case-trump-closing-arguments-jury-rape-trial-defamation/13226735/ Does Trump have a right to be allowed to offer an alibi? In a criminal case, absolutely. In a civil case, that will be decided among other constitutional issues. But again, in most if not all one off cases, a date on-or-about was provided

That's what will be the case presented. Most of the NY State sexual cases involve assault that occurred over a period of time usually involving some form of employment and most, if not all, the other one-off cases have a specific on-or-about date as with the Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx case above.

An appeal will deal with Constitutional rights issues -- not the verdict.

This would be more typical of a complaint under the NY State Adult Survivors Act: 3. On or about August 26, 2015, Defendant ERIC MARLON BISHOP, a/k/a JAMIE FOXX was at a restaurant and rooftop lounge and bar located at 21 9th Avenue, New York, New York in the City, County and State of New York. https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/not_assigned_jane_doe_v_jane_doe_summons___complaint_1.pdf As opposed Ms. Carroll's: NEW YORK, Nov 17 (2022)(Reuters) - The writer accusing Donald Trump of raping her 27 years ago https://www.reuters.com/legal/trump-defamed-me-again-rape-accuser-carroll-says-forthcoming-lawsuit-2022-11-17/

I don't see on what there is to differ: No date. No alibi possible.

The name to watch since it appears nowhere in the World News forum is: Gerard N. Magliocca

I just look at the case docket in both the civil and criminal trials. And I voted against Trump twice already.

He was denied the right to an alibi because there was no claim by the Plaintiff as to the actual date when the alleged assault ever took place. The current trial as defamation-only was originally filed in 2020. The trial where Trump was found liable for assault was filed in 2022 when NY state gave a temporary reprieve on civil sexual assault statute of limitations. That is the case that is now under appeal. And when the current 2020 so-called Carroll 1 case is resolved, that too will likely be appealed after posted a bond or cash.

The second case is actually the first case. You are right . No Alibi. How can there be an alibi when Trump doesn't know on which day the alleged assault occurred?

His guilt, or more accurately liability, was settled in Judge Kaplan's Federal District Court. Not yet in the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Personally, as someone who lived in NY City in the mid-1970's when Donald Trump from Queens was becoming, The Donald' I would go with the Al Pacino quote from And Justice For All: That man, there, that man is a slime! But, to me, denying someone the right to an alibi in a procedure like this, when there is an one-off incident involved, whether criminal or civil, should not stand.

It was on the court docket post jury decision. And her suggestion I would say is more that there was always a clinging sales associate present than in actual security. And while I might offer my opinion as to why, I think maybe sometime during an appeal this may be at issue civil trial or not: Her: You raped me. Him: When did I rape you? Her: I don't know.

On the docket of the current trial. No matter at the current hearing for damages. Maybe a matter in the appeal:

Sure but only registered Republicans are eligible to vote in the Iowa Republican caucus. At any rate, now that the caucus is done, Iowa will revert to the inconsequential as the November 2024 Presidential election is likely to be decided in the so-call "swing states" and Iowa isn't one of them. Trump’s leads over Biden in key swing states narrow: Survey 01/08/24 11:59 AM ET The poll found that the margins between Trump and Biden grew closer in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, but that the former president still maintains an edge in all six states surveyed. Neither candidate received more than 50 percent of support in any state, signaling that the swing states remain divided on who they will likely support in the general election. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4395340-2024-election-trump-leads-biden-key-swing-states-narrow-survey/

As per Republican voters: Iowa caucus voter turnout for 2024 The 110,000 voters who participated in the 2024 cacuses accounts for just under 15% of the state's 752,000 registered Republicans. Still, though the attendance didn't shatter records, the Iowa GOP celebrated the turnout as a demonstration of Iowans' "resilience and determination." "Iowans braved record-low temperatures after a blizzard blanketed their state just days earlier to deliberate with members of their community about the future of our country and participate in true, grassroots democracy," Iowa GOP Chairman Jeff Kaufmann said in a statement. "I could not be prouder to be an Iowan than I am tonight." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iowa-caucus-turnout-2024/

From a today NY Times Letter to the Editor (trust me): The Iowa results were not great for those who would prefer that Donald Trump not win the election. On the other hand, 49 percent of the caucus voters did not vote for him. The weather was extreme. One may want to think that Mr. Trump’s great fans showed up in a higher percentage.

Yes. I saw your comment above. But that all becomes a function of, not just what revenue does, but how any expat deals with or somehow avoids dealing with immigration.

The big difference is that the locals don't have to deal with Immigration. Then again, some non-Thais, for one reason or another, don't either.

Some say the trick is now to stay under the RD radar . I use the 65K+ per month FTT deposit for extension of stay. I am already a big hit on the RD radar screen. ...So I already have the proof documents for at least that stated income.

My comment earlier today: But then the Thai Rev folks have to acknowledge that there will be (I will be polite) fudging of opinions as to what deductions and exemptions to which some expats claim they are entitled.

Some do these things because their finances are otherwise not sufficient and some just do it for sport. Early on, I made the comment that -- without any Social Security or other DTA-type exemptions -- with only the deductions in the current Thai tax law, my tax bill might be about $US 100 per month. I wouldn't like it, but doable. And someone came on and rightly said that, even if that amount is no big deal for you, for some retired types already marginal, that 3000 or 4000 baht per month could make a big negative difference in their life.

Based mainly upon my observing the willingness of (American) expats to lie and cheat on their sworn US Embassy statements for extension of stay income affidavits (RIP) -- even when doing so would be a possible felony in the US -- it is my opinion regarding immigration and/or revenue matters that, if an expat feels he/she can cheat and get a away with it, they will.

REDUX: I agree that self-appraisal and self-assessment may be the only practical solution. But then the Thai Rev folks have to acknowledge that there will be (I will be polite) fudging of opinions as to what deductions and exemptions to which some expats claim they are entitled. https://aseannow.com/topic/1306896-thai-government-to-tax-all-income-from-abroad-for-tax-residents-starting-2024/?do=findComment&comment=18605638 So if I want to say (to myself) that all my remittances this year are from an inheritance from my Aunt Dolores and thus not assessable for Thai income tax purposes, does that mean I ever had to actually have an Aunt Dolores dead or living?

I will agree that, for any time soon, an ATM withdrawal in Thailand from a foreign bank will be non-traceable to an expat in Thailand. It will maybe come down to, if one ever files or has to file a Thai income tax form, are the amounts you actually claim as foreign remittances plausible.
