The nature of our politically corrupt justice system takes on new clarity today as a jury in New York City decided President Trump did not rape E. Jean Carroll, the crazy moonbat funded by political operatives, but President Trump did defame her in his denial of the accusation. Thus, the jury awards damages to the false accuser, while finding the accused not guilty.
Presumably the position of the jury was that something ‘may have happened‘ because this was not a criminal trial outcome which would be based on “beyond a reasonable doubt” as the standard. Instead, this verdict was based on the possibility that something ‘may have happened,’ albeit not proven, and President Donald Trump was defamatory toward the accuser in his strong denials of the accusation.
The jury awarded $2million in compensatory damages and $20,000 in punitive damages for the battery allegation. The jury awarded $1 million in compensatory damages for the defamation and $1.7million for the repair of her reputation. They awarded another $280,000 in punitive damages for the defamation.

Keep in mind that New York wrote a new law specifically to provide E Jean Carroll a pathway to file a lawsuit over the allegation that something might have happened sometime in the past, though the accuser could not identify what year President Trump assaulted her. The accuser, a woman of notoriously odd behavior and remarkably unstable mindset, was funded by billionaire LinkedIn founder and very vocal Trump critic, Reid Hoffman.
New York created the new law for Ms. Carroll, Reid Hoffman paid for the legal costs, and Ms. Carroll made her sketchy accusations of something, from sometime, that wasn’t certain to have happened. There were no witnesses to the claimed events, there was no evidence the event took place, there was nothing to indicate Ms. Carroll or Mr. Trump were even in the same place at the same time.
However, the judge in the case permitted the presentation of possibility, then blocked President Trump from speaking about the case, and then instructed the jury to consider that Ms Carroll’s claims may have indeed taken place, at some point – although no evidence exists and no one knows when, not even Ms Carroll
It was a civil suit trial, not a criminal trial. Under the law, sexual abuse can be established in a civil suit without proving it culminated in rape. The jury found that Trump was guilty of harmful sexual abuse and subsequent defamation of character. Here’s the Jury Verdict Form that the reflects each point of their decision:
Jury Verdict Form, Carroll vs. Trump
Don’t blame liberal logic. Blame the way Mr. Grab-’em runs his mouth.
Even in a civil suit, truth is still supposed to exist. A civil suit is not simply a realm where justice does not exist and vindictiveness is rewarded. If they didn’t believe her when she accused rape, why would they believe her about abuse? One can’t blame liberal logic for none exists. It is simply disregarding truth and due process.
Maybe they believed Trump’s own words regarding the liberties celebrity are allowed to take with women.
He bragged about adultery in his books, too, you know. The man is totally devoid of ethics in “In Business and in Life”.
President Trump should sue the old hag e jean for falsely accusing him of rape.
Did you bet on dead horses in the Kentucky Derby?
He could bring the case in Florida, since that is where HE lives now. Maybe HE can choose the judge and jury for a change. Then maybe a fair trial would ensue.
Comrade Greggie, I have two words for you: casting couch.
The only “dead horse” here at FA are your posts.

As aware as I am that there is nothing you have a lower regard for than the truth or facts, he didn’t say he grabs them. He said he COULD grab them. Which, if you could set aside your hate, bias and crybaby sore-loserdom for a moment, is in most cases, a fact. Many women, impressed with his wealth and wanting to leach off him would gladly let him grab whatever he might want. This is, of course, what he said and meant, not talking about those he HAD grabbed, or as in idiot Biden’s case, talking about forcing his daughter to shower with him or raping Senate staff.
I’ll blame the government assets that pay people like Carrol to level treasonous accusations against Trump, because the Deep State can’t beat Trump in a fair and free election.
I don’t think you understand how much this removes your authority.
The woman said she was going to model unmentionables for a stranger, this is her story, and a story it is, right out of a plot from Law and Order, twice divorced, childless lonely cat lady with deep sexual fantasy issues. Biotch is cray cray.

Presenting a legal defense in which you assert your innocence now exposes you to defamation charges and punitive damages.
Even if you are found innocent or not liable.
In a court of the United States.
We are but a few steps from dunking the suspected witch to determine if she floats. Shout out to Monty Python.
President Trump should sue her for defamation, too, for accusing him of rape, since it’s now been determined in the court of law’ that he didn’t. What’s good for the goose is good for this unhinged old hag…..
That would be sweet. Maybe she could get Avenatti out of jail to represent her.
Yeah, so the jury decided Carroll was lying about being raped, but somehow was telling the truth about being diddled? Apparently, the case was so weak and ridiculous, even rabid Trump haters couldn’t abide by it but they HAD to hit Trump somehow (why else even have the trial?) so they found in favor of “defamation” and assault.
The bullshit is pretty clearly on display here and the left isn’t even embarrassed about it.

Democrats have destroyed all credibility of the FBI, DOJ and science. This is why they need to crush free speech. People will now believe ANYTHING other than what the Democrats and government pushes, and that is dangerous. At some point, they MIGHT just provide some actual information we might actually need and won’t take it seriously.
Oh, “Ooopsie!”
