If I were trump I’d be plenty nervous think of this case as the canary in the coal mine looks like the canary croaked .this doesn’t bode well for trump in the pending cases theft of top secret documents,voter fraud (Georgia) inciting a riot,attempted coup,ect,ect.this verdict must give courage to the brave prosecutors filing cases against this vindictive career,live destroying,powerful sicko.yup not looking good for old Donnie imo 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's assume for a moment he is innocent and he didn't remember that woman. How does a man react if a woman accuses him he raped her when she was 50? I didn't do it. Ok. I am not interested in old women. Why would I rape an old woman when I can have a pretty young one? Yes, it's not politically correct. But all this does not change anything about the not existing evidence. According to photos of her when she was 50, she was an attractive looking woman. Trump mistook her for his former wife during the deposition. I am not aware of rapists and sexual abusers asking the age of their victims before doing the deed. The evidence was supplied by two of her friends who testified in court she had told them shortly after the rape/assault, and other women who came forward to testify he had molested them too. What do you want as evidence, his DNA on her dress? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post placeholder Posted May 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Trump Furious That Jury Wasn’t Told Name of E. Jean Carroll’s Cat Donald Trump unleashed a barrage of attacks on a New York judge and jury late Tuesday after he was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming journalist E. Jean Carroll. Among the stranger complaints made by the former president—who now has to pay Carroll $5 million—was that the jury wasn’t informed about the name of his accuser’s cat: Vagina T. Fireball. “The partisan Judge & Jury on the just concluded Witch Hunt Trial should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for allowing such a travesty of Justice to take place,” Trump raged on his Truth Social platform. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-furious-that-jury-werent-told-name-of-e-jean-carrolls-cat Trump also went on to lie about Carroll's dress. He claimed that it wasn't allowed to be introduced into evidence. Actually his team fought against using the dress as evidence by refusing to give a sample of Trump's DNA. And when it was too late, Trump's team asked to see an appendix to the report about the dress (which they had the opportunity of seeing all along) and then deciding on the basis of that whether they would agree to have Trump provide a sample of his DNA. The judge ruled that this was an obvious delaying tactic and that the deadline for submitting such evidence had already passed.

If person A tells person B and C at time unknown that something happened, is that prove that it happened? No! It's just information that A told something to B and C. It's independent of whatever she said. No prove at all. And about a "50 year old attractive looking woman". There are 50 year old women who look not bad considering their age.

If you ask me now where I was i.e. at 14:37 on the 7th March 2017, then I am able to tell you. Not because I have such a great memory, but because Google saves the GPS records from my Android phone since years. In their timeline it is easy to check where my phone was, which 99% of the time means where I was. That technology didn't exist 30 years ago for normal users. Most people at that time didn't have big and expensive mobile phones. And even if they had I am pretty sure those phones had no GPS sensors included. There is no information about the locations of each of us from that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arithai12 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 23 hours ago, Fat is a type of crazy said: I take your point but you weren't in the courtroom to hear the evidence, to build a picture of the character of Ms Caroll, to hear her words and the words of those who confirmed that she made such claims at the time or a relatively short period afterwards, the potential similarities with claims of many other women, and of course Trump did himself no favours with the total arrogance of his interview for the case. Keep in mind too the bigger part of the finding is actually for defaming her. Sorry, I don't give a fig about Trump but I had to read the whole story and I find it absolutely crazy. She got into a changing room with the guy while trying some pieces of apparel. Which adult woman does that without expecting something. She claims she was raped, involving she got naked but without any damage to her clothes and underwear, without a sound, without a witness seeing them get in and out, without any distress. Notably, she didn't start her complaints until some 15 years later. Those who confirmed are her friends, not a single employee of the department store where there is in fact no record of them being there together. In a normal judicial system there would be a huge benefit of doubt for Trump. Most ridiculous, she gets awarded 5 M USD ! most of it for defamation! How big is the honour of this woman to deserve that?? Actually, the jury concluded that there was no rape (how did they establish that?) but only forced kissing and attempt to undress, then she kneed him in the balls and left without a peep. For that only, 1.7M !!!! How do they come to such figures? Mind you, even as a man I wouldn't mind that treatment for 1.7M, and I guess there would a line from NY to Florida of women ready as well. Of course, there will be appeals and agreements and she will see much less after the lawyers' share, but still to an outsider the american judicial system is farcical. 1.7M for kiss and fondling in a consensual intimate meeting, and scot-free if you shoot a person dead in your driveway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jury said that Ms. Carroll's claim of rape did not meet the 'preponderance of the evidence' standard. So that as in the original complaint form: 1. Roughly 27 years ago, playful banter at the luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue in New York City took a dark turn when Defendant Donald J. Trump seized Plaintiff E. Jean Carroll, forced her up against a dressing room wall, pinned her in place with his shoulder, and raped her. she nowhere mentions that she was (only) sexually abused.

There usually must be a legal basis for the appeal an alleged material error in the trial not just the fact that the losing party didn't like the verdict. An appeal is not a retrial or a new trial of the case. The appeals courts do not usually consider new witnesses or new evidence. Appeals in either civil or criminal cases are usually based on arguments that there were errors in the trial s procedure or errors in the judge's interpretation of the law. https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/resources/law_related_education_network/how_courts_work/appeals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those personal attacks for no reason. Thanks for showing your attitude. The question was about his DNA on her dress. That would prove that he was near her. I.e. maybe she gave him a BJ. It doesn't prove if she liked it or not. And if his semen or DNA was inside her that still wouldn't prove he raped her. Did you ever leave DNA in any woman or maybe man? Did you rape that person? I never raped a woman. If a woman would accuse me of raping her then I would be angry at her for such outrageous accusation. I am sure I would say I didn't do it. In private I also might say that she is ugly and old and the last person who I would want to have sex with. Now let's get back to Trump. He is a well known as#%$%4 who is known to talk aggressive about anybody who is not on his side. Trump is like that for a long time. I don't like him and many people don't like him. I am sure he told many women that they are ugly. Is that nice? No. But is it prove that he raped them. No. It is just typical Trump behavior and no prove at all that he raped that woman.

Your posting volume, quality and content here on this topic come across as obsessive.. Trump will NOT appeal. Tacopino was just saying what Trump wanted him to say, after a blistering call with the ex-President. BTW, watching and hearing Tacopino get roasted by the crowd, with multiple F-bombs was classic "New Yawkah". And his lack of response said everything you need to know about this schmuck. Look, if you whack some wise-guy hire Joe. Otherwise, get a lawyer with relevant experience. Trump should start a law firm, and get John Robert's wife to help staff it. That way he'd have a bevy of quality lawyers on call. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals will back Judge Kaplan. Trump will settle - unless Ms. Carroll demands a retraction, which Trump won't agree to - and he'll just fleece his followers $5 M. Next trial.
