Former President Donald Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in damages for repeatedly defaming her, a jury found Friday.

The nine-person jury began deliberations in federal court in New York at 1:40 p.m. ET and reached a verdict in just under three hours.

    It won’t matter he will just delay and appeal till he dies and then his kids will do the same thing and sue to keep it from ever happening

      Appeals are not an infinite process, and as we have already seem multiple times just this month the New York State Court of Appeals has either denied his requests for appeal or swiftly ruled against him. Sometimes the rock hard cock of the law does catch up with you.

      As Martin Luther King Jr. said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”

      Edit: I changed my initial statement because I forgot this case was in federal court not state court.

        What did MLK say about the “rock hard cock of the law?”

          I think it was something about having a dream and then needing to change the sheets.

      IIRC he has to put up a cash bond equal to the value of the judgement in order to appeal it. In other words he has to come up with $83.3 million in cash in order to appeal. I’m not sure he has that even if he raids the campaign fund.
