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.
I’d be fine if he keeps doing this and Carroll just bleeds him and his supporters dry and she becomes mega rich
She will become… maga rich
As soon as he is president again, he will just change laws.
Punitive damages are capped under a million anyways
Not in this case they aren’t:
“The award included $11 million for damage to Carroll’s reputation, $7.3 million for emotional harm and other damages, and $65 million in punitive damages.”
Just like Guiliani’s case:

“There was an audible gasp in the courtroom when the jury foreperson read aloud the $75 million award in punitive damages for the women. Moss and Freeman were each awarded another roughly $36 million in other damages.”
That depends on the circumstances of the case. In the case of certain federal crimes, murder, rape, and certain types of arson being a nonexhausive list, there’s no cap.
IANAL, but the ideas of Molon Labe, and FAFO are written into federal law, in multiple areas
Edit: obviously this comment is talking about the US
Tell that to the judge
…obviously not.
