do to you. jurors, if you could hear us, we are curious but we do not need to know who you are. also, probably a lot happier for the people who do not know about it. like, hats off to you. you new yorkers. all right buddy, see you, thanks as always. thank you at-home for joining us this hour. quote, no one is above the law, not even a former president of the united states. that is how roberta kaplan, the lawyer for writer e. jean carroll, how she began her statement in the case against former president trump. carol herself said quote, i filed this lawsuit against donald trump to clear my name and to get my life back. today, the world finally knows the truth. this afternoon, a jury of six men and three women, in manhattan, found former president donald trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation. the decision was quick, and it was unanimous.
undercut the narrative that e. jean carroll and her friends, conspired to make up a story. first, bring trump down, then to make money and sell books, and third, to be famous. and by saying the amount of money, we are not going to put a price on it, yes we are suing for damages but we will not put a price on it, that is up to you, by saying that they were trying to take the power away from the narrative. but they were also saying it because it was true. for e. jean carroll it was about getting her name back, getting her reputation back. what surprised me today about the damages that nobody ever said how much eugene from her emotional distress, fear, inability to form relationships with men, which is something the psychological expert in the case talked a lot about. yet, the jury assigned $2 million to the assault itself, separate and apart from the reputational losses she has suffered when he defamed her. that, to me, was really notable. rebecca, when you talk about
the fact they found unanimously that he sexually abused e. jean carroll it s astonishing. you were there, and there was a lot of talk about the composition of the jury, the expectations of the jury, the verdict was handed down so quickly, unanimously, men outnumbered women. i mean, what can you tell us about what you observed being in the room and what were your expectations about how long this is going to take? my expectation was that it would take a long time either way. i will explain why. if there were people on the jury who didn t want to fine for e. jean carroll, there would at least be a few jurors who would. they would have to hash it out over some serious of ours. i also thought, given the amount of questions on the verdict form, even though everyone was in agreement that that would take a while. what are the damages that she is owed as compensations both for the defamation claim and separately for the sexual assault? what do we owe this woman in terms of punitive damages
