under which law the case was filed
Carroll last November “New York State Adult Survivors Act” filed a lawsuit against Trump under It’s such a US law, in which you can open cases like old sexual harassment or indecency.

New York laws are very strict in this regard. The law states that sexual contact in any way or touching an intimate part will also be considered sexual contact. Although the law says it will be considered rape if a person forcibly has sex with another without their consent. Even if its quantity is lower or higher. In New York, sexual abuse, i.e. sexual indecency and rape, are considered cases related to sex crimes.

what was there to prove
Carroll’s lawyers had to prove whether Trump coerced him and what the evidence is. The jury found that Trump committed sexual misconduct and was entitled to damages for the assault, although the jury did not find that Carroll was raped.
Moreover, whatever the maximum evidence they have, they say that everything Trump publicly said last year about Carroll was untrue and untrue, and Trump deliberately defamed him in doing so.

how long carroll testified
This complaint was filed in November. After that, Carroll’s hearing lasted two full days. The argument took place. He recounted with him the past incident and how his life has changed since then. During cross-examination, Trump’s attorney cross-examined him for hours.

Carroll only introduced his friends that he had told about it after the accident. Trump’s attorney did a lot of questioning and cross-examination with both of them. However, Trump’s legal team alleged that all three were lying. However, not only Carol, but many women have accused Trump of sexually abusing them from time to time in the same way.

Who else’s help was taken in this matter
Carroll’s legal team enlisted the help of American clinical psychologist Dr. Leslie Lebovitz in this case. Which proves that Carol is not the victim of any disorder or mental illness but that she was raped by Trump. Lebovitz says that after this accident, Carroll suffered from it for many years. These bad memories kept troubling him.

Why didn’t the jury accept the rape case
The jury did not accept the rape case because there was not enough evidence about it.

What did the jury decide?
The jury found Trump guilty of coercing Carroll and of defamation. Usually people are saved in such old cases. But Trump did not survive. He was found guilty in federal court in Manhattan. The jury found that Trump sexually assaulted Carroll enough to award him damages for defamation. However, Carroll was unable to prove to the jury that she had been raped.

The jury unanimously found that Trump defamed Carroll, for which he should pay $03 million (Rs 24.6 crore), while $02 million (Rs 16.41 crore) was awarded to him for behavior inappropriate. However, Carroll did not sue for a set amount. This amount was decided by the jury itself.

Why Trump won’t have to go to jail in this case
It’s a matter of relief for Trump that this case has been dismissed as a civil case, so he won’t have to go to jail.

what are juries in american courts
Whenever an important decision must be made, US federal courts consider the opinion of the jury. Provided they reach a unanimous conclusion. In America, there are 09 people in the jury group – 06 men and three women, their identity is kept secret.

How did Trump react to this decision?
Trump did not go to trial. It wasn’t even necessary. Trump posted a video on his social media saying he would appeal the case. Called unhappy and politically motivated. Also reiterated that he doesn’t know who Carroll is. Trump’s lawyer says that New York jury team did not conduct a fair trial.

Will this affect Trump’s election campaign?
does not seem to be so. However, this decision will have no effect on Trump’s election campaign. Because it’s a civil matter. When Trump was campaigning for the 2016 presidential election, he had several civil cases pending, but after his election those cases were resolved – it had no effect on his election. The move came as Trump claims to be the in-party candidate in the primaries as the Republican nominee in the US presidential election.

what did carroll say that won the case
Carroll said she only went to court so the world would also know what the truth is. Now the world has learned this. After that, Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said no one is above the law, even the former US president. Carroll said Trump is a liar and he damaged my image and now I want to live my life again. By the way, Carroll is a Democratic supporter. She says Trump is like a devil. His becoming president of America was like a misfortune.
