Note to everyone: The US courts are run by vicious partisan black-robed clown stooges!
Was the New York law suspending the statute of limitations adopted for the sole purpose of allowing this trial?
At least in this case Trump knows what he is being accused of. Bragg won't reveal what the "other crime" is for which he has indicted Trump.
I believe this is a Civil Trial and not a criminal trial.
Bingo.
And that's the point. The judge is a scumbag, the lawyer is documenting the judge's scumbaggotry.
This case, and the Stormy Daniels thing, are both chickenshit.
I believe that you are correct. I believe the issue at hand is whether or not Trump defamed Carroll by calling her a liar.
If Trump did in fact rape Carroll, then Carroll’s accusation is true. That would make Trump’s act of calling Carroll a lair into an act of defamation.
If Trump did NOT in fact rape Carroll, then Carroll’s accusation is False. That would make Trump’s act of calling Carroll a liar into a simple statement of truth and not defamation at all. Also, it would make Carroll’s act of claiming that Trump raped her into an act of defamation.
While this is formally a defamation case, the question to be answered is: “Did Trump rape Carroll?” Who defamed whom all hinges upon that.
Only Trump and Carroll know the truth of the matter. I’m totally convinced that Trump is innocent and Carroll is lying, but if the judge gets the jury to vote in Carroll’s favor, the media will treat it as proof that Trump is a rapist.
Indeed. And FReepers were once in one accord that having a rapist as President was unacceptable.
I’m totally convinced that Trump is innocent and Carroll is lying,
I will say that the accusation seems highly unlikely, and unsupported by any evidence. There is supposedly a 'stained dress'. A DNA test on it would be very informative. In any case, I am reminded of Christine Blowsy-Fraud.
Not true. Trump’s attorney is preserving these points for the appeal. If he doesn’t raise them during the trial he would automatically lose that point in an appeal.
Has nothing to do with if he thinks he is losing during the trial. Based on his cross-examination, I think he is winning.
It’s a risky gambit. If the jury thinks that he’s browbeating or bullying her, it could backfire.
Best case Trump has you can’t rape the willing.
Not to mention the msm gets to talk about him losing and raping a woman until he wins on appeal. Then down the memory hole. Or they say the court that over turns is corrupt.
