TODAY: Jury To Consider Damages In Carroll Case

Reuters reports:

The writer E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit against Donald Trump is likely headed for a jury on Friday, after lawyers for both sides offer final arguments on how much Trump damaged Carroll’s reputation by denying he raped her.

Carroll, 80, is seeking at least $10 million over Trump’s June 2019 denials, when he was president, that he had raped her in the mid-1990s in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan.

The seven-man, two-woman jury need decide only how much Trump owes Carroll for harming her reputation, and whether to impose punitive damages to keep Trump from defaming her again.

Read the full article. It’s expected that the jury will begin deliberations some time this afternoon. How long that could take is anyone’s guess.
