The amount of the award is not my point. The jury returned a verdict that is readily available. They found, in accordance with New York Law, Trump DID NOT rape Carroll.Blackvegetable » 15 Dec 2024, 5:48 pm » wrote: ↑ Exactly..
In this instance the jury awarded a far larger amount than is standard in cases of simple groping....triggering Team Grifty's petition.
Besides, there was no reason to address rape in his filing. There was no award related to rape and under NY law, examples of sexual assault included vaginal penetration with any object (referred to in the statutes at that time as "vaginal sex"). An award of $2,000,000 is not unreasonable. Seems Kaplan opened himself for reversal by lying about the verdict.
