Do fast verdicts tend to be defense verdicts. Trump says he will appeal E. Jean Carroll case over ‘unconstitutional silencing’, whatever that is.
Six men and three women found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll but rejected her rape accusation.
BREAKING: TRUMP: NO HE DID NOT RAPE. YES ON SEXUALLY ABUSED. YES SHE WAS INJURED. AWARDED HER $2M. YES HE DEFAMED HER. YES HE LIED. YES HE MADE THE STATEMENT WITH MALICE. YES SHE WAS INJURED. AWARD: $1M. REPUTATION REPAIR $1.7M. YES HE ACTED MALICIOUSLY. AWARD $280K...
A jury has found that former President Donald Trump E. Jean Carroll decades ago and then defamed her by denying it. It took just a little over three hours for the jury to come to a conclusion, which prompted legal experts to speculate it meant the jury agreed Trump was guilty. While the jury said that he didn't "rape" her, they said she was sexually assaulted and awarded her $2 million.
In another count, whether there was wonton disregard "negligent, reckless, or done with a conscious disregard of the rights of Ms. Carroll, or was so reckless as to amount to such disregard?" the jury answered yes and awarded Carroll $20,000.
Trump was also found guilty of defamation, and the jury agreed Trump's statement was false. They also agreed that there was "actual malice" and agreed she was injured. For that, they awarded Carroll $1 million. They also called for $1.7 million in the "reputation repair program" to the tune of $1.7 million.
The total award for Carroll is $5 million.
