E. Jean Carroll's Case Against Trump Goes To Trial

 

At long last, columnist E. Jean Carroll will get to tell her story in court as jury selection begins Tuesday for her civil case against the Malignant Loser for sexual assault in the 1990s, and defaming her for lying about it. While he's escaping a trial on criminal charges, the Malignant Loser, if found liable, would be tagged officially as a "rapist." As he makes his third run for President to obtain immunity from Federal prosecution, the Malignant Loser's predatory sexual history will be opened up once again in this trial. From The Guardian:

"The trial comes as Trump already faces criminal fraud charges over the payment of hush money to the porn star Stormy Daniels, and the prospect of looming federal and state prosecutions over attempts to fix the 2020 election, the January 6 storming of the Capitol and the hoarding of classified documents.

But Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, said the case stands out even amid Trump’s myriad legal problems because it revives memories some of his most egregious behavior as he once again runs for president.

'One of the things that happened because of Trump’s election in 2016 was this collective outrage from women across the country for a whole host of reasons, but in many ways encapsulated by that video of him talking about grabbing women by their genitalia. There was this moment for many women who thought it would not be possible for someone caught saying that to ever become president of the United States. And then he was,' she said.

'This case brings all that up and in some ways adds to that outrage that women feel about him. He has been accused of this kind of behaviour so many times and he’s never been held accountable. This time it seems like he may in fact be held accountable.'” (our emphasis)

The judge in the case has already ruled that the jury may hear testimony from other victims whom he's assaulted, and can hear the infamous "Access Hollywood" recording again to establish a pattern of behavior. Being a pathological liar, the Malignant Loser's lawyers want to keep him off the witness stand at all cost, after his bizarre deposition last October. They concocted a risible excuse for why he's not appearing: too much stress on New York City's police and traffic control resources. 

In civil cases, the plaintiff merely needs to show that there is a preponderance of evidence in proving their case, i.e., what they claim is more likely than not. Ms. Carroll has a preponderance of evidence, and the Malignant Loser knows it.
