Not of rape, he is not in court for rape but for battery and defamation Bev54 May 2023 #2
Good point, I'll correct it. BigmanPigman May 2023 #3

correct me if I'm wrong.

This is a civil case, the judge or jury must believe that your case is stronger than the other side’s case ( a plaintiff and a defendant.)

He won't go to jail. He'll have to pay damages to E. Jean Carroll, perhaps her attorney's fees.

But I expect he'll file an appeal the same day to drag this out, hoping to win on a technical error during trial.

I have not sat through the trial. I will be pleasantly surprised if Trump is found liable.
