COURTHOUSE,
Sept 6 – After the
verdict against Donald Trump
for $83.3 million in mostly
punitive damages to E. Jean
Carroll, Trump's lawyer wrote
of "allegations that Your
Honor, while a partner at the
Paul Weiss firm, had a
“mentor” type relationship
with Plaintiff’s lead counsel,
Roberta Kaplan."
On
September 6 when the appeal
was heard - Inner City Press
live tweeted it, below --
Roberta Kaplan told the three
judges of the Second Circuit
that Judge Kaplan was not her
mentor. Thread:
All rise! Judge:
You may proceed. Trump's
lawyer: The plaintiff has a
political story, funded by
President Trump's enemies.The
Access Hollywood tape should
never had come in -
Judge: In some cases,
propensity evidence is
allowed. Trump's lawyer: But
not here.
Trump's lawyer:
Your honor, I see that my time
is expiring
Roberta Kaplan:
Judge Kaplan has a lot of
experience - he is neither
related to me nor is he my
mentor. We had a psychological
witness who said she believed
Ms. Carroll. Judge: That
witness heard a report, rather
than witnessed anything. 2d
Judge: You could lose all the
propensity evidence and still
win? Kaplan: Access Hollywood
was an admission
Roberta Kaplan:
Mr. Trump is here today. He
could have taken the stand. He
did not put on a single
witness. So we put in the
Access Hollywood tape, he
said, I grab women by the
p*ssy Judge: Thank you for
your time.
Judge: We'll take
this under advisement
Back on January
29 a very first book was
published about the trial and
what it might mean:
"Trump Trial II:
Punitive Damages and Vow to
Appeal: From the SDNY Trial to
the 2024 Trail," by Matthew
Russell Lee - Ebook here (with audiobook and
