Well, even if the court heard witnesses, they might say that Trump bribed the store staff or threatened them, and the Trump hating NY jury might convict him anyway. The jury ignored the fact that Carroll didn’t know what year the alleged deed occurred.
But yes, the jury was chosen because all of them were/are TRUMP HATERS! I'm absolutely certain, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the voir dire made certain of that!
When I was 19 a young lady asked me to give her a ride. I said sure. Took her and dropped her off. She was trying to hook up with a guy who wasn’t interested. She told him I tried to rape her. He confronted me. He knew she was a flake so he believed me when I denied it. So by this ruling she could sue me when I was 39 for attempting to rape her? That was 55 years ago and I can name a year.
