fI can’t believe this can happen. There is no evidence he did this. You are presumed innocent. How can you convict someone, anyone when it’s your word against theirs?
Presumption of innocence applies to a criminal case. This is a civil case. That also means that the standard of proof is preponderance of the evidence (50% + 1) rather than beyond a reasonable doubt, and a unanimous verdict may not be required. So if the plaintiff can persuade a majority of the jury that it is more likely than not that the incident occurred, Trump will lose. Essential, this is a case where Trump will have to prove it didn’t happen, rather than the plaintiff proving that it did. Not fair, but the reality.
