Three steps Epstein's friend could have taken to avoid paying $83.3M in rape defamation trial [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-01-26 Now, I’m no fancy city lawyer, although I’m probably slightly better than the Lionel Hutz attorneys Trump has (likely not) been paying. That said, I’ve come up with a three-step process that would have prevented Trump from paying such a massive amount. A jury decided that Donald J. “Grab Them by the ….” Trump should pay $83.3 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll, the woman he raped and continues to defame. This is on top of the $5 million he was ordered to pay just a few months ago for the same damn thing. STEP 2. Don't smear the victim. Also, don’t repeatedly smear the victim after you’ve smeared her. Finally, you definintely should not smear the victim IN FRONT OF THE JURY. Remember, the entire point of the trial was how much you should pay for smearing your rape victim in the first place. STEP 2. Don't smear the victim. Also, don’t repeatedly smear the victim after you’ve smeared her. Finally, you definintely should not smear the victim IN FRONT OF THE JURY. Remember, the entire point of the trial was how much you should pay for smearing your rape victim in the first place. STEP 3. Don't hire a lawyer based on how hot you think she is. I know you were scraping bottom of the barrel since no one wants to defend you because you suck, can’t control yourself, and never pay up…. but this is what exteme incompetence costs you. Alina Habba famously stated that her looks were more important than anything, because she could “ fake being smart .” Apparantly not. Her very first statement to the judge was “I don’t know how to try this case ,” and it ended with the judge threatening to put her in jail because of her unhinged, screaming outbursts during the trial. And that’s it!! In fact, you really don’t need steps 2 and 3 if you just follow step 1. I’ll now see Republican politicians and Trump’s moronic supporters doing everything they can to defend their rapist-in-chief. Sadly, Trump is likely to raise a lot of money because nothing says presidential like rape defamation. Do better. Be Best.
