These burning questions must be answered to find Donald Trump liable in E. Jean Carroll trial: experts

Raw Story  

Jury deliberations in the E. Jean Carroll civil lawsuit against former President Donald Trump are set to begin on Tuesday -- but just what will it take for jurors to render a verdict against the former president? A newly published analysis piece at CNN notes that a civil trial has much different rules compared to a criminal trial, as Carroll's lawyers do not need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump committed rape. First, they have to assess Carroll's own credibility, which came under attack repeatedly from Trump attorney Joe Tacopina over her inability to name a specific date where the alleged rape by Trump took place. The second key question that will have to be answered is whether Trump's infamous "Access Hollywood" tape, in which he bragged about being able to sexually assault women, is real evidence or is simply "locker room talk."
