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.
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!".
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.
Seems fair enough.
