Trump requests SCOTUS overturn verdict in E. Jean Carroll case

President Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to overturn a jury’s civil lawsuit verdict that he sexually abused and later defamed former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll.
Trump’s lawyers argued in a filing that allegations leading to the $5 million verdict were "propped up" by a "series of indefensible evidentiary rulings" that allowed Carroll's lawyers to present "highly inflammatory propensity evidence" against him.
"President Trump has clearly and consistently denied that this supposed incident ever occurred," Justin Smith, one of Trump’s lawyers, and his co-counsel wrote in the filing, according to The Associated Press. "No physical or DNA evidence corroborates Carroll’s story. There were no eyewitnesses, no video evidence, and no police report or investigation."
quote:
Trump's lawyers accused the trial judge, Lewis A. Kaplan, of warping federal evidence rules to bolster Carroll's "implausible, unsubstantiated assertions." They also said that by upholding the verdict, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was in conflict with other federal appeals courts on how such rules should be applied.

Unlike the Kim Davis craziness, this is one that may be reviewed, but it's still probably sub-50%

They also changed the statute of limitations just to "get Trump"

In the E. Jean Carroll vs. Donald J. Trump case, a change in New York law allowed her to file a lawsuit that otherwise would have been too late.
Here’s what happened:
New York’s Adult Survivors Act (ASA), passed in May 2022, created a special one-year “look-back window.” During that period, adults who claimed they were sexually assaulted could file civil lawsuits even if the normal statute of limitations had already expired.
This law applied only to civil suits (not criminal cases) and only for one year after it took effect.
Because of the ASA, E. Jean Carroll was able to bring a civil battery claim against Donald Trump for an alleged assault that occurred in the mid-1990s — long after the standard deadline had passed.
So, the statute of limitations wasn’t permanently changed for all cases; instead, the ASA temporarily revived old claims that had previously been time-barred. That temporary window made Carroll’s case possible.

This should also be part of their argument.

I asked you about this ridiculous E. Jean Carroll case the other day. iirc, your response was "???."
Dude, stop acting like you are objective when it comes to Trump. Anybody with an IQ above room temperature knows that you aren't, and we've known it for YEARS.

Funny how the lawyer from LC never mentions anything like this. This case was the most absurd one of them all. Brandon's DOJ was clearly doing everything possible to take Trump down and make it impossible for him to run in 2024. So obvious you'd have to have a serious bias not to see it.
Obtw, all of this blatant lawfare failed BIGLY. OMB is in the White House and has 38+ months left in his term.

I expect it wasn't relevant to the topic being discussed.
If you provide the link, I bet I'm proven correct.

Why don't you just answer the question in a current thread. You always say you have previously answered the question. Would it be so hard for you to repeat your answer.

This is yet another of your go-to deflections. Seriously, you must jump thru 300 hoops every day on here.

What was the question in the post to which I replied (that you quoted)?
