Trump lawyers: Joseph Tacopina, Alina Habba & W. Perry Brandt. U.S. District of Manhattan / U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.
Carroll has sued Trump for defamation & for rape, saying Trump turned a friendly encounter at a luxury Manhattan department store in late 1995 or early 1996 into a violent rape.
Trial began on 4/25/23 with jury selection. 9 jurors (6 jurors & 3 alternates) (3 women & 6 men). (see post #108 page 6 for jury info).

Defamation charges postponed by Judge Lewis Kaplan on 3/30/23. Carroll's first defamation lawsuit against Trump was filed in November 2019. But that case has been put on hold while Trump argues that a federal law protects him from being sued for defamation for comments he made while president.

If the jury finds for E.Jean, and there is a judgement, which he will surely appeal of course, and the appeals dead-end ( like all his others so far) he can be made to pay :

"If the defendant doesn't pay the damages awarded to the plaintiff in a civil case, the plaintiff may ask for an execution of the judgment. The clerk of the court in such a case will deliver the execution to the sheriff, commanding him to take and sell the property of the defendant and apply that money to the amount of the judgment."

My guess is it will be something in the line of: "This all such baloney he will not even dignify it with his exalted presence" :p

I think the original poster was referring to the fact that he’ll appeal forever and, that at the end of the day, his supporters have donated enough funds to him to cover his costs anyway. It baffles me how donating to a person with so much money of his own by people who could really better use that money themselves for better reasons seems to be de rigour for Trump.

E. Jean Carroll v. Donald Trump: Attorneys make final arguments in civil rape case

Attorneys for E. Jean Carroll are asking a jury to find ex-President Donald Trump liable for a rape in 1996 and order him to pay millions in damages.
www.usatoday.com

Trump "knows what he did; he knows he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll," her attorney Roberta Kaplan told the jury.

Attorneys for Trump, who say the 1996 incident never happened, get their turn later in the day.

The arguments are scheduled to take up most of the day; the jury is not expected to begin deliberations until Tuesday.

In closing argument, attorney for E. Jean Carroll says she was 'exactly' Trump's type

E. Jean Carroll "was exactly" Donald Trump's type, an attorney for Carroll said Monday during closing statements in the former president's defamation and battery trial.
abcnews.go.com abcnews.go.com

In Monday's closing arguments, Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, once again played for the jury the excerpt of Trump's October 2022 deposition in which he momentarily mistakes Carroll for his second wife.

"What did Mr. Trump do after I showed him that photograph?" Kaplan told the jury. "He looked at it for a moment and then, completely unprompted by me, he said, 'It's Marla.' She was exactly his type!"

Kaplan asserted that Trump only corrected himself when his own lawyer jumped in after realizing how potentially damaging the statement was.

"He said the photo was blurry. But that's the photo, ladies and gentleman," Kaplan said, putting the 1980s-era photograph of Carroll, her then-husband John Johnson, Trump, and his then-wife Ivana Trump on the screen in the courtroom. "The truth is that E. Jean Carroll, a former cheerleader and Ms. Indiana, was exactly Donald Trump's type."

Kaplan juxtaposed Trump's mistaken identification with his remarks on the "Access Hollywood" tape, on which he is heard saying about women that "I just start kissing them ... I don’t even wait" and that when you're a star you can "grab them by the p----."

"What is Donald Trump doing here?" Kaplan said. "He's telling you in his own words how he treats women. It's his modus operandi."

The attorney also repeated what Trump said during his deposition about how stars get away with the conduct. "Well that's what, if you look over the last million years, I guess that's been largely true. Not always, but largely true. Unfortunately or fortunately," Trump is heard saying.

"Fortunately or unfortunately?" Kaplan told the jury. "Who would say fortunately to describe the act of sexual assault? I know who. He thinks stars like him can get away with it. He thinks he can get away with it here."
