Not a legal expert but the verdict was given by a jury, not judge.

However Judge Kaplan would not allow President Trump to defend himself, and would not introduce into evidence many sexual assault allegations made by Jean Carroll against other men. He ignored the fact Jean Carroll deleted evidence she was instructed and agreed to preserve.
IMO the fix was in between the anti-Trump Judge, the big money donor to Nicki Haley and the funder of the Jean Carroll lawsuits, Reid Hoffman, and the lawyers for Jean (rape is sexy) Carroll.

Not in this suit. The judge declared him liable, was not allowed to say he didn’t do it, and had the jury hear testimony to decide how much he was liable for.

The judge has control over what evidence can and can’t be presented to a jury. And a judge can order a defendant to not defend himself.

With Alex Jones, he was forbidden to even say he was innocent.
