E. Jean Carroll's Testimony Against Trump in Rape Case Causes Jury Dismissal
TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump's lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, cross-examined E. Jean Carroll, the writer who accused Trump of raping her nearly three decades ago, in a Manhattan courtroom. Tacopina probed for inconsistencies in her testimony and asked about her inability to remember precisely when the encounter occurred. Carroll stood her ground, stating that she was raped, whether she screamed or not. The lawsuit filed by Carroll against Trump asks that a jury find him liable for battery and defamation and award her monetary damages. Trump is avoiding the trial, and the cross-examination by Tacopina could be pivotal to his defense.
