A federal jury in Manhattan found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll. That jury on Tuesday awarded her $5 million in damages, after finding Trump civilly liable for sexual battery, but not for rape. he asked Carroll. "We were basically the same height," Carroll told Tacopina during cross examination. "So you are saying," Tacopina asked, "that you got your knee up to his — it would be waist, as high as his waist?"

Carroll receiving a monetary award from this trial hinged on whether the jury unanimously believed her claims against Trump. “For E. Jean Carroll this lawsuit is not about the money,” attorney Roberta Kaplan said during closing arguments on Monday. Trump appears the most agitated on the video when he denies Carroll’s rape allegation. Two friends that Carroll testified she told soon after the alleged rape testified about their recollection of Carroll’s account in 1996. Tacopina in his closing argument Monday also accused Carroll of fabricating her rape allegations to sell her book.

Summary Trump's lawyer calls the case an 'affront to justice'Jury due to begin deliberations on TuesdayNEW YORK, May 8 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's absence from a trial where writer E. Jean Carroll accuses him of rape and defamation shows that "he did it," a lawyer for Carroll said on Monday, while Trump's lawyer told jurors the case was "outrageous." "He never looked you in the eye and denied raping Ms. Carroll," lawyer Mike Ferrara told jurors as the civil trial in Manhattan federal court neared the end of an eighth day. Jurors also heard from two other women who said Trump sexually assaulted them in separate incidents decades ago. She said Carroll had been unable to sustain a romantic relationship since the alleged rape, and that Trump's public criticism had harmed her client's reputation.

"I don't particularly like getting attention because I'm suing Donald Trump," she clarified, pausing a beat, then adding, "Getting attention for making a great three-bean salad? Trump told her he once considered buying Bergdorf Goodman, she told jurors. Tacopina asked Carroll. "So you joked around about having sex with Donald Trump for money in this Facebook post, correct?" Tacopina asked.

As the civil trial over the writer E. Jean Carroll’s allegation that former President Donald J. Trump raped her neared its end, one of her lawyers focused on the man who was missing from the courtroom. Mr. Trump did not testify on his own behalf or even show up. “He just decided not to be here,” the lawyer, Michael J. Ferrara, told the jury on Monday. The rape allegation, he said, was a complete invention. Mr. Tacopina took an uncompromising line during the two-week civil trial in Manhattan federal court, the first time that Mr. Trump, 76, who has faced years of allegations that he engaged in sexual misconduct with women, has had to answer such a claim at trial.

Instead, the jury heard a computerized “Let’s Get It On,” based on the original sheet music. Ed Sheeran showed two very different sides. Sheeran attended every day of testimony in the trial, and on the stand he could be charming, demonstrating his songwriting with a guitar. A key part of any music copyright trial is the testimony of musicologists hired as expert witnesses for each side, who present dry, abstract analyses of the music. At the Sheeran trial, the two experts also seemed to take every opportunity to put each other down.

By the time he won an acquittal in a high-profile, 2011 Manhattan criminal trial, Tacopina had attacked what he called her "functional tolerance" for alcohol. She remembered in graphic detail being immobilized in her bed — too drunk to resist — as she was allegedly raped, she told jurors. "She called him a rapist," Tacopina told the jury in openings Monday. "I can dance backwards and forwards in four-inch heels," she told Tacopina when he questioned her dressing-room balancing act. "It caused me to realize that staying silent does not work," she told Tacopina of the courage she saw in that #MeToo wave.

“I think rape is one of the most violent and horrible things that can happen to a woman or a man,” Carroll said. Getting attention for being raped is not – It’s hard. Getting attention for making a great three-bean salad, that would be good,” she said. Carroll is suing Trump for battery and defamation, alleging that he raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the spring of 1996 and then defamed her years later when she went public with the allegations. And Carroll said that negative comments about her followed Trump’s statement.

Now, with the fraud charges filed earlier this week against Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the bankrupt FTX exchange, Williams has further solidified his office's growing role in prosecuting financial crimes involving cryptocurrency, according to interviews with a half-dozen former prosecutors. Bankman-Fried, 30, has acknowledged risk management failures at FTX but said he does not believe he has criminal liability. In the wake of Bankman-Fried's arrest, Williams has made clear he would plow on with cryptocurrency enforcement. On Wednesday, he announced wire fraud conspiracy charges against the founders of two separate cryptocurrency mining and trading companies he called Ponzi schemes. On Tuesday, Williams told reporters more charges in the FTX probe were possible.

When tickets go on sale, the link leads fans to a "Smart Queue" that "keeps ticket bots out."
