prove anything within a civil case. given the mountain of evidence presented, including prompt outcry and all this other witness testimony, it is i think going to be really detrimental for the jury to walk away not finding trump liable. kristen, we need to remind everyone, again, this is a civil case, not a criminal case. as the jury prepares to deliberate, what are the possible outcomes? the possible outcomes are going to be whether or not donald trump is liable, and if he is, how damaging or what type of damage didn t e. jean carroll suffer? in other words, if trump is found liable, they ll then assess how much money do we award carroll to make her whole. that s what the civil justice system is about, making the plaintiff whole, if that misconduct caused the plaintiff to suffer. kristen gibb gons fed den,
givens bed den is joining us as well. ron, talk to us about the closing arguments. reporter: it s under way. roberta kaplan goes first. we expect this to take about 2 1/2 hours. then the defense will take about the same amount of time they say. so today is going to be devoted to closing arguments. she started off getting right to the point of saying no one is above the law, not even the president of the united states. that s going to message the theme throughout the course of the trial. and then she tried to use president trump s words against him. she showed the jury again the picture we ve seen, the black and white picture where trump and e. jean carroll and ivana trump and john johnson, carroll s husband is in the picture. donald trump mistakes carroll for his second wife, marla mapless to debunk the idea where he said she wasn t his type. that s what they re trying to get the jury to believe. then they showed the jury the
access hollywood tape which was also in mr. trump s deposition, where he talks about how as a star he can grab women and do what he wants. to sum it up, right in that moment, the attorney said this is him admitting that he did and could do exactly what he did to e. jean carroll. that s what the message has been through out the trial and throughout the closing statement. she s pointing out there are 11 witnesses who backed up carroll s story and there were none who backed up trump s story and made a point of the fact that he didn t show up at the trial, which he wasn t required to do. kristin, let me play a clip from the trump deposition and talk on the other side. when you re a star, they let you do it. you can do anything, grab them by the [ bleep ], you can do anything. historically that s true with stars. true with stars that they can grab women by the [ bleep ]?
