SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 26 – During
the "Carroll
II" trial of
E. Jean
Carroll versus
Donald Trump,
both sides put
in exhibits,
but no defense
exhibits were
made available
to the public
or press, see
Inner City
Press filing
and below.
On
May 11, Trump
filed a notice
of appeal to
the 2d Circuit
"from [178]
Judgment,,.
Document filed
by Donald J.
Trump. Filing
fee $ 505.00,
receipt number
ANYSDC-27729258.
Form C and
Form D are due
within 14 days
to the Court
of Appeals,
Second
Circuit."
On
May 22,
Carroll's
lawyer filed a
proposed
schedule for
the earlier,
Carroll I
case, with
briefing
through July
31. Letter on
Patreon here.
On
May 24, Judge
Kaplan set a
schedule:
"ORDER, 1.Any
response to
plaintiff's
letter of May
22, 2023 shall
be filed on or
before May 26,
2023."
On
May 26,
Trump's lawyer
Alina Habba
wrote that "by
filing the
Motion to
Amend the
Complaint
(“Motion to
Amend”),
Plaintiff is
seeking to
“retrofit” the
jury verdict
for Carroll II
into the
Complaint for
Carroll I, in
order to alter
the entire
nature of
Carroll I at
the eleventh
hour,
following the
completion of
discovery,
pre-trial
motion
practice, and
a fully
briefed Motion
for Summary
Judgment filed
by the
Defendant,
inter alia.
Plainly
stated, the
jury in
Carroll II
found that the
alleged rape
did not occur.
However, the
entire
Complaint in
Carroll I
contains
allegations of
purported
defamatory
statements
arising from
this precise
allegation –
not a
purported
sexual
assault." Full
letter on
Patreon here.
On
May 9, after
less than
three hours of
deliberation,
the jury
awarded E.
Jean Carroll
$5 million
damages. Inner
City Press
live tweeted
it, thread here
Hours later,

Press
published the
first book
about the
trial, "Trump
Trial I: Press

On May 4,
Inner City
Press filed a
written request
to Judge Louis
A. Kaplan,
copied to each
party,
requesting
that the
exhibit be
released, and
several
motions be
unsealed.
On Friday May
5, Carroll's
counsel made
some but not
all exhibits
available to
the press on
DropBox,
including
portions of
her deposition
of Donald
Trump.

City Press published that on YouTube, it
was reported
