What's your opinion of the jury's decision requiring Trump to pay Caroll $83.3 MILLION?

[MrShaun]

The award included $11 million for damage to Carroll's reputation, $7.3 million for emotional harm and other damages, and $65 million in punitive damages.

He got caught in his lies, although the amount seems a little excessive.

His lies seems to be catching up with him. It was a correct sum or should have been more.

Impressed that most people believe the jury got it right.

It seems ridiculous that a person that wasn't convicted in a criminal court can't protest their innocence of a crime they are accused of.

Even if a person was convicted of a crime they should be able to say that they are innocent with further court action.

I personally don't believe Jean E Carrol as her story doesn't check out. Trump was only mentioned to sell her book which also states that about 20 different guys have raped her, even her mechanic. But she's enjoying her fame and the money. This sets a dangerous precedent for all men where no evidence is required to convict you and you can't even say you are innocent.

Howd it damage her reputation? Her audience either believes her more or they believe trump and probably never read her stuff. She's in a liberal place. I say baloney to that.

$100 million worth of damages... rounding up for both. That's crazy.

maybe if I was on the jury and saw all the information I'd think different. I doubt it.

new york wise wise to open the window for such lawsuits for only a short time. Can you imagine all the nervous people, especially wealthy men if they'd opened that up national wide? this was a special case..."get Trump!".

[Kelley1]

It wasn't a jury of his peers. It was a bias judge. There was zero evidence. That is not law, that is corruption at the highest level The amount, even if true, is excessive by a factor ofl 10,000.

[MrShaun]

I appreciate your input.

Why do you believe it wasn't a jury of his peers? It was a jury that both the prosecution and defense agreed upon.

May I ask you about your feelings overall about Donald Trump?

[Kelley1]

Obviously, the defense did not agree on jury in which the jury pool was preselected for people that would vote guilty. I am sure the defense did the best they with such a bias jury pool all Trump haters.

Personally, I don't like Trump and will not vote from him, nor will I vote for Biden. If those are my choices, it makes no difference who is elected. Trump is a liar. He promised to eliminate the swamp. Instead he added to it with his appointment of Jews and liberal neocon war-mongers. For example, his liberal Supreme court appointes wrongfully violated the constitution voted to allow the Federal government to cut the border fence that Texas put up.

[Kelley1]

Furthermore, your poll is not a poll at all. It shows your extreme bias by refusing to include a choice (s) disagreeing with a guilty verdict.

[Kelley1]

Thank you for surprising me with your MHO.

[lightbulb27]

earned it!

[handsomelad70]

LOVE IT !!! Too bad the judge didn't send Agent Orange to the Big House.

[Nikki1989]

Seems fair enough.

[strateguy632]

in real law innocent people don't pay anything until proven guilty. this was not justice.

[exitseven]

She will not be collecting a dime. This will be overturned on appeal.

[MrShaun]

On what grounds would the appeal be?

[exitseven]

She has no evidence and no witnesses. She does not even know what year it happened

[MrShaun]

There has to be legal grounds for an appeal. One cannot appeal because they don't like the outcome.
