COURTHOUSE,
Jan 26 – The Saturday before
the second E. Jean Carroll
versus Trump trial was to
begin, Trump's lawyers filed a
letter arguing that Carroll's
Anderson Cooper 360 interview
should be able to be played
for the jury.
The trial
on January 17 before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan,
repeatedly ran into issues
Judge Kaplan said had been
resolved in the first trial
(which was live tweeted by
Inner City Press, book here)
On January 26,
the verdict:
Judge Kaplan: I'm
advised the jury has reached a
verdict. We will have no
outbursts in these
proceedings, we will maintain
decorum. Bring in the jury.
Jury entering!
Judge Kaplan: Please hand the
verdict to Andy... Thank you.
Clerk will read the verdict
Andy: Did Ms.
Carroll prove, by a
preponderance of the evidence,
that 1. Ms. Carroll suffered
more than nominal damages as a
result of Mr. Trump’s
publication of the June 21 and
June 22, 2019 statements?
Answer Yes.
Andy (clerk): 7.3
million... 11 million...
punitive damagess: $65 million
Judge
Kaplan; Members of the jury,
if you wish to speak after the
verdict - I order you not to
disclose the names of any
other juror, and I advise you
not to disclose your own name.
[Jury leaves]
Judge Kaplan: Any
other business?
Ms Habba: I would
just like to thank the court
staff Judge Kaplan: You're
welcome on their behalf.
