If I were a juror on this case, it would bother me that Carroll doesn’t know on what day (or week or month) this alleged rape occurred. If there is a specific date, the accused at least has a shot at proving his/her whereabouts that day.
I would also like to know what the dressing rooms were like. Do men frequently walk in to women’s dressing rooms Bergdorf? I’ve been in a lot of dressing rooms and besides there usually being other patrons around, sales staff often hovers asking if they can get something in another size or color. I find it difficult to believe that a rape occurred because I think someone would have heard if Carroll had called out when/if Trump first entered the dressing room.
I would imagine that Tacopina is asking about all of this.
Discovery on her mental health and medication history should be interesting.
Calling on anyone who dated her to come forward and tell their story.
Time, weather, other people/witnesses around, locations, speeds, etc.
Some of the witnesses were very methodical and clear in what they saw (a horrific car crash in the trial I was watching). Others seemed very confused about what they saw, and their versions didn't make sense.
I like your idea. While there may not be any direct evidence or witnesses, the scene of the “crime” would lend itself to is it believable or not.
I recall a store years ago where the dressing rooms were down a long hallway and well away from the main area, and the rooms had full, locking doors. At the Goodwill store they have the partial doors and the rooms are on the wall adjacent to the women's racks of clothing with customers three feet away.
“Carroll doesn’t know on what day (or week or month) this alleged rape occurred.”
I think I read that she doesn’t even know the YEAR, either.
She’s been hired, just as Anita Hill was.
And Tacopina isn’t really helping Trump by having no witnesses. Even have testimony about the layout/size of the dressing rooms, if it’s conceivable tha there was not even one person in the department then, etc. He needs to provide a “vigorous” defense.
“I would also like to know what the dressing rooms were like.”
What is amazing to me is that Bergdorff-Goodman seems to be comfortable letting people think they have a history of lax security.
I’ve never been in more than the lobby of the store. They made it clear that my type wasn’t wanted.
I can’t believe for a minute that the women’s dressing rooms aren’t well attended with matrons tidying up all the time, or salespeople running back and forth to get women a size 6 to try because the size 4 or 8 doesn’t fit. Something like this doesn’t happen in a high-end store like that? I don’t believe it.
