Trump's courtroom antics doom bid for new trial in E. Jean Carroll case

Raw Story  

A federal court shot down Donald Trump's request for a new trial or a reduced penalty in E. Jean Carroll's defamation case. "There was evidence that Mr. Trump’s statements about Ms. Carroll only increased in frequency and vitriol as trial approached, with Mr. Trump repeating the same or similar attacks on Ms. Carroll despite knowing that a jury and the Court already had held his similar 2022 statement to have been defamatory," Kaplan wrote. "The jury in this case at least arguably was entitled, moreover, to conclude that Mr. Trump’s continued defamation of Ms. Carroll —even during the course of trial — in turn warranted a finding that he would not stop attacking Ms. Carroll unless faced with a significant deterrent." "The jury could have found that Mr. Trump wielded his position as arguably the most powerful and famous man in the world to broadcast his lies to millions of dedicated followers in an effort to destroy Ms. Carroll’s credibility, to punish her for coming forward, and to deter other women from doing so as well," Kaplan wrote. "Beyond his out-of-court statements disparaging Ms. Carroll during trial — many of which were introduced in evidence — the jury could have found that Mr. Trump’s demeanor and conduct in the courtroom itself put his hatred and disdain on full display," Kaplan wrote.
