Ridiculous: Appeals Court Upholds Trump’s Liability in E. Jean Carroll Sexual Abuse Case
PJ Media ^ | 12/30/2024 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 12/30/2024 7:24:54 PM PST by SeekAndFind

The election is over, Trump has been reelected, but the lawfare continues nonetheless. On Monday, a federal appeals court that must have been under the influence of some psychotropic drug upheld Trump’s liability for supposedly sexually abusing the partisan fantasist E. Jean Carroll in a Bloomingdale’s dressing room sometime in the 1990s. Carroll’s story has more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese that has been used for target practice, but despite lacking any evidence, she keeps winning in court — believe all women, doncha know, even the crazy mendacious ones. Trump’s team is going to keep on appealing, and that’s good. Maybe sanity will prevail at some point.

Fox News reported Monday that the appeals court’s is “a blow to the president-elect,” and leaves him “on the hook for the $5 million payout ordered by the jury.” An unnamed panel of three judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which consists of 27 judges in all, issued an unsigned ruling claiming that Trump’s attorneys had not succeeded in establishing “that the district court erred in any of the challenged rulings.” The Trump team "has not carried his burden to show that any claimed error or combination of claimed errors affected his substantial rights as required to warrant a new trial."

In the immortal words of Peter Lorre in the cinematic classic “All Through the Night,” “But that’s silly!” Back in Sept. 2024, the Post Millennial reported that Trump attorney Will Scharf, “speaking at Trump Tower in New York City after a hearing to ask to overturn the final verdict against Trump in the E Jean Carroll case,” pointed out quite correctly that the alleged victim’s story "at its heart is an utterly implausible, he said she said story.

E. Jean Carroll: “Your honor, it happened so long ago the state had to pass a special ex post facto bill of attainder to nullify the statute of limitation expiration, I don’t remember what year it happened, I didn’t file a police report, I have no corroborating witnesses or evidence of any kind.”

Judge Kaplan: “Guilty!”

Only if he gets a friendly NY Governor. Since this isn’t a Constitutional issue, he probably has no avenues other than her to die.

She's a tool of Reid Hoffmann who was a buddy of Epstein and visited Pedo Island.

And she’s a lunatic with a history of accusing people of sexual abuse who is being bankrolled by a disciple of Schwartz Gyorgy.

Trump’s lawyers can ask for a rehearing by the entire court (En banc). If that isn’t successful, he can appeal to the US Supreme Court. Who knows whether that court would even take up the case now.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I do know appellate procedure. The same event is part of Trump’s state appeal, so any sane federal court will wait for a final decision on the NY case.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I do know appellate procedure.

I literally fill in the blanks on 98% of the Article III federal judge article postings on FR, and have done so for YEARS.

You've been here under this screen name for 9 months.

I agree that you have no idea about what's going on other than your attempt to troll on this subject.

Just about all of the trumped up ( no pun necessarily intended ) political charges against Trump are lawfare. They can’t even win when they try to stack the deck.

“Only if he gets a friendly NY Governor.”

This was federal court: “An unnamed panel of three judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit”

The question I have is why they don’t appeal using the Eighth Amendment excessive fines clause.

I heard a quote one time that made a lot of sense. It was something like.” we have a legal system, but we don’t have a justice system.”

I agree with whoever said that
