The Manhattan jury hearing evidence in E. Jean Carroll’s federal lawsuit accusing former President Trump of raping her decades ago has reached a verdict.
The nine-person panel — three women and six men — reached the decision Tuesday after three hours of deliberations that began Tuesday May 9 following eight days of trial in Manhattan federal court.
The jurors were tasked with determining if the 45th president is liable for battery in the “Ask E. Jean” advice columnist’s case accusing him of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room, most likely in 1996.
They also needed to determine whether Trump, 76, defamed Carroll when he publicly denied her allegations, claimed he had never met her and accusing her of making up the story for political reasons and to help push her book sales.
If the jury determines Trump is liable, it can award Carroll, 79, whatever compensatory and punitive damages it sees fit.

Trump should never have met Crazy..
3 hours? Not good news for Trump
3 hours? Including lunch. And bathroom visits.
Did they even sit down in the room?
His lawyer barely appeared. The lawyer seemed to be working towards a judgement against Trump.
It’s not a rape case. That is an intentionally misleading MSM take.
> most likely in 1996 <
What a minute. The accuser is not even sure in what year it happened?
Or is the just more sloppy journalism?
A Kangaroo Court held in Manhattan.
Trump is so screwed.
What’s the verdict? Did i miss it in the story? 🤔
Article did not say what the verdict was...
There is no way the LEFT will allow Trump to be President again, no way
the jury reached a decision but the story doesn’t say what that decision is...
Who needs evidence?
She had a plotline from a TV show that aired on TV.

This pisses me off. My stomach is in knots and I don’t trust any NY jury.
they are trying to find a way to spin Donald winning... as somehow being a loss...
if DJT had lost, it would be on every news outlet in the nation.. its not. .. so there... we have our verdict...
He will countersue for court costs.
bully for him... go DJT
It’s not a criminal rape case, I believe the statue of limitation has expired on criminal charges.
It is a civil lawsuit about him possibly raping her, the judge decided even an unwanted kiss could be considered guilty, so the bottom line is that Trump is going to get hit with a judgement. I hope I’m wrong but a jury taking 3 hours to decide this case is not a good omen.
“Trump didn’t appear for the trial”
There’s the sign of a man looking to clear his name.
Other than a photo showing him shaking her hand in some receiving line somewhere, there is no evidence he ever did beyond that.
