Trump demands new E. Jean Carroll trial, citing ‘restrictions’ on testimony

Oops, I mixed up the Trump cases. The two Carroll verdicts were in federal court, so the state courts will have no role in any appeal. The federal courts will, however, follow basically the same rules about jury verdicts and collateral estoppel.

It’s the appeal from the fraud judgment (Justice Engoron) that will go up through the state system. It won’t get to SCOTUS until the appeals through the state courts are exhausted, and even then only if SCOTUS agrees to accept it for review. At that stage there’s no appeal as of right.

I doubt that all the damages are going to be erased. I was talking about Bragg and Litigious James twisting laws, although Engoron may commit new abuses in the future. Maybe you are correct about legal precedents on statute of limitations. The jury would have convicted no matter how foggy the evidence. At least NY found a supposed victim in this case, although it reminds me of the Blasey Ford story.

I have a feeling that dems are going to use this in political ads.

Dear Zach and Ella,

If it’s former President, it’s also former columnist Carroll.

And it’s not a demand by Trump, his attorneys filed a motion.

You two are Haters!
