Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted May 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2023 4 hours ago, OneMoreFarang said: America is just crazy. A 80 year old woman claims a guy raped her when she was 50. No exact date when it supposedly happened, no evidence at all. And then, 30 years after the alleged incident, she sues the guy and gets 5 million USD. That is nuts! And at the same time, the same guy is telling rioters to storm the capitol, they do that, people die, and there are no legal consequences - at least until now. Do we have to wait another 30 years before someone will sue him for that and demand compensation? I would love to see Trump in jail and lose all his money. But this case is just laughable. Because of course 80 year old women don’t deserve the rights get to defend themselves against definition in the non crazy America you would prefer. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do understand trump destroys lives when people cross him you do understand that mrs carrol is one of many who have accused him you did see the access Hollywood tape you did see his deposition no sir accept that a jury felt he did it not because of any disgust for him personally but because they feel he did it accept it it’s done he’s a predator it is what he is 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all of the #Metoo cases as well as others should just be dismissed and the perpetrators let go. You realize that this is not a conspiracy and is about justice being served years later after woman have now been able to speak out on sexual abuse, after being afraid to for decades. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted May 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2023 I’ll repeat what I’ve said before. Trump supporters will not accept accusations against him, they won’t accept court trials against him, they won’t accept jury verdicts against him, they won’t accept court sentences against him. I’ll also repeat what Trump himself said. ”I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters.’’. We are witnessing a cult responding as it’s leader predicted. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it was a conspiricy. I don't care who is accused 30 yrs later of rape, it shouldn't make it to court.

Hanaguma Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 A new law was instituted, she took advantage of it, case closed. I think I wrote earlier that he would not be found liable for rape but would be found liable for defamation. TBH I didnt know there were lesser accusations (battery etc) included as well. I would say he should pay the lady (he has experience doing that) and get on with life. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those defending his actions need to understand we in media are not qualified to judge but the jury is and only they decide. Evidence counts. Just saw this from his admiration on new evidence: https://www.mediaite.com/tv/alyssa-farah-says-she-reported-countless-cases-of-trumps-impropriety-the-way-he-engaged-with-women-was-dangerous/ Alyssa Farah Says She Reported ‘Countless Cases’ of Trump’s ‘Impropriety’: ‘The Way He Engaged With Women Was Dangerous’ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it wasnt a criminal case, it was civil, so the standard of proof is lower. IMHO the jury reacted based on the idea that "something" happened.... like I said, I did not know the charge could be downgraded until a standard was reached.

On the plus side, he hasn't stood on Fifth Avenue and shot someone, yet, that we know about. 5 minutes ago, Hanaguma said: IMHO the jury reacted based on the idea that "something" happened Yeah, well that and the two women who testified that Trump did the exact same thing to them. Still trying to figure out what his "type" is, you know that he seems to become uncontollably handsy with. IMO, Trump and Melania should have appeared in court every day, and both should have testified, one in defense, the other as a character witness.

Why do you keep on claiming he shouldn't have been convicted without having seen the evidence? He wasn't convicted. That would involve a criminal case and this was a civil action.

Just felt her up in the change room? Wonder how they could make that determination, given the paucity of actual evidence. I have a feeling that this was more of a general expression of disgust at his behavior towards women than a specific finding in this particular case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of evidence, just an accusation The case was filed under a special temporary NY State law that allows for a suspension of statute of limitations for civil only sexual offenses. It was filed in Federal court because the parties have different states of residence i.e. Florida and NY State.
