I would think the fact the judge in this case would not allow Trump to defend himself in any way would be a basis for appeal as well.
So, once a judge tells you that E. Jean Carroll’s lies are the truth, you can no longer say that those lies are lies? Because if you do you’ll owe her $83 million?
In no other world (but Bidenworld) is this a two-decision $88.5 million dollar case.
Lawyers will be telling clients WRT the Trump defamation decision:
<><>regardless of how absurd an accusation may be,
<><>no matter the falsity of the charges,
<><>if you deny it, you can be dragged into court
<><>a politically weaponized judge and jury will rule against you bigtime.
Judge Kaplan should have recused himself. But given his conduct during the trial I guess that was a naive sentiment.
Indeed. It's sickening.
“previously unknown”?????
It wasn’t “unknown” to THEM!
The more his enemies think they are destroyin him, the more I support him.
Note to self: if I ever come back in another life as a woman. Make main goal to get alone with a rich man and accuse him of rape.
Then hope for millions in a settlement or sue for defamation if he denies it.
Only in Murica?
Somebody is lying.
“This is so wrong, on so many ways. However, that being said, it makes me wonder if it even matters that this is obviously wrong. Our whole legal and political system seems to be unraveling.”
There’s always the hope... that the ‘next’ judge hearing the appeal might actually be a judge... vs. another leftist activist hack. Hope springs.
I hope this is not the only basis of appeal. That corrupt judge had so many egregious rulings that he should be overturned on those, as well as being sanctioned and removed from the bench.
“Our whole legal and political system seems to be unraveling.”
Politics over Justice. This is what happens when you change from a system of LAWS to a system of MEN. It becomes a tool to destroy your enemies. How else do you explain a damages award of $83 Million dollars to a woman who would not have earned that much is 20 lifetimes?
Do people really believe we will have an election in 2024?
How on earth did she not know this?
Trump Lawyer Backs off Idea That E. Jean Carroll Judge Had Conflict: https://www.usnews.com/news/top-news/articles/2024-01-30/trump-attorney-claim-of-judges-conflict-utterly-baseless-carrolls-lawyer-says
-A lawyer for Donald Trump on Tuesday backed off her suggestion that the judge who oversaw E. Jean Carroll’s two successful civil defamation trials against the former U.S. president might have had a conflict of interest.
In a letter to U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan, Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba said she was satisfied that the judge and Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan, who is not related, did not have a “mentor-mentee relationship” when they worked at the same law firm three decades ago.
