E. Jean Carroll’s defamation trial against former President Trump was postponed on Monday after a juror and one of Trump’s lawyers reported feeling ill
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversees the trial, announced in the courtroom he would postpone the trial for at least one day.
“We will take the day off,” Kaplan said.
Kaplan said one of the jurors reported feeling ill on his way into court, and he was sent home.
Alina Habba, one of Trump’s attorneys, said that she also was feeling ill on Monday and had recently been exposed to COVID-19 at a dinner with her parents.
And, knowing that, she went to court and exposed others.
There are so many reasons to disbar her, if not imprison her…
And this is why some of us are getting booster shots every year. Clearly we can’t trust our fellow citizens, that’s one of the main things I learned during the pandemic. Hell at this point even people who were social distancing have seemingly forgotten or stopped caring.
I get booster shots as soon as they’re available, but they’re no guarantee for me and they don’t help people like the immunocompromised or babies, neither of whom can get vaccinated against COVID who need everyone else to be vaccinated to protect them.
Which is why every single person who can safely be vaccinated and chooses not to is very selfish. It’s not about them, it’s about sick people and fucking babies.
