Judge in Carroll Case Says Trump ‘Raped’ Her, Though Jury Disagreed

“The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.

that has to be worth a reversal...

Sounds like enough BIAS by the Judge to have the whole case thrown out and the Judge REMOVED from the bench

Otherwise know as a corrupt, leftist democrat in a black robe.

I think you aren’t following the chain of the conversation.

I was responding to a poster that wrote:
“What’s the point of having a trial, if the judge just decides on his own?”

I was referring to the fact that since both of these statements are true:
1: “There was a trial by jury and the jury found Trump did not rape Carrol”
2: “The judge has decided that Trump did rape Carrol”

It lets someone say this and be technically true:
“There was a trial by jury and it was decided that Trump raped Carrol”

It implies that the jury decided that, but doesn’t actually say the jury decided that.

My response was half sarcasm and half pointing out how this is an effort by the judge to push the idea that Trump raped Carrol despite the jury saying otherwise.

I guess it DOES depend on what IS is!

I see. Yes, I missed that.

Thank you for the explanation!
