But if you’re out are hoping for a ‘Trumpist’ jury, keep in mind millions of Americans are so a-political, they don’t even vote. I’m quite certain Georgia can impanel an unbiased jury. I’m also certain that if a Georgia jury does convict Trump you’ll scream ‘rigged’, or words to that effect. For the record l’ll accept any jury verdict in any Trump trial.

On what basis do you think I am a Trump supporter? I only think the Carroll thing was from a legal standpoint a bad case. She said repeatedly in her original claim and in her sworn cross-examination testimony that she was raped. And the jury found that -- based upon the minimal 'preponderance of the evidence' standard -- she was not raped. This is item 1. of the original COMPLAINT AND DEMAND FOR A JURY TRIAL (their caps): 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. It does not say : ... pinned her in place with his shoulder and MAYBE raped her.

And I'll accept, if there is an appeal, the appellate court's decision. My reason for thinking the appeal has some merit: Tacopina called the verdict 'strange' and 'inconsistent'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your posting volume, quality and content here on this topic come across as obsessive.. I just think the idea to believe every woman without any evidence is hilarious, especially if she claims to remember what happened 30 years ago and if she makes millions of dollars from this. I thought that at least most guys in Thailand know that it is not a good idea to believe everything they say. My buffalo is sick and all that.

Yep, even Trump's lawyer was instrumental in picking them, including one who listened to Tim Pool, a far-right, pro-Trump commentator who has aligned himself with figures like Steve Bannon. Trump lawyer rejected claim that juror’s political affiliation signified bias But newly unsealed court filings indicate that Trump’s attorney was making a sharply different argument behind the scenes in order to dissuade the judge from ejecting a juror who listened to podcaster Tim Pool, a far-right, pro-Trump commentator who has aligned himself with figures like Steve Bannon. “A juror’s political affiliation is not grounds for dismissal, even in cases involving a political figure,” said Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina in a May 2 filing that was unsealed by U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan on Wednesday. Kaplan ultimately sided with Tacopina’s argument, leaving the juror in place. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/10/trump-lawyer-e-jean-carroll-jurors-00096308 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a lot stronger evidence than refusing to even deny the allegations under oath. I can't imagine why the jury decided to believe her and not him.

I have never seen a case where a defendant has one charge where he/she is found not guilty while he/she is found guilty on the others called strange and inconsistent and then appealed because the jury did not find not guilty or guilty on all charges. Is Tacopina a seasoned lawyer........I mean with those comments he seems naïve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
