Isn’t nearly 100 million excessive for him just saying he didn’t do it? He was civilly liable not criminally or am I wrong? (Different burden of proof)

He didn’t say he didn’t do it, he spent time talking smack about Carroll. Repeatedly. In public and on social media. You can’t do that.

Yeah, yet for some reason people are blaming Alina… from what you’re saying it shouldn’t matter how good or bad his attorney was, correct? Trumps alleged actions created the alleged problem.

The actions aren’t alleged anymore. He raped her. Then he slandered her. Repeatedly.

Is civilly liable the same thing as guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?

Obviously, she’s outraged. But do you think Trump is surprised with the amount. Were they (Habba et al) expecting this amount? Were they expecting something lower?

The big number is the punitive damages because he acted with malice. Trump was the personification of malice throughout the trial, even in front of the jury. He made the case for the maximum damages every day.

Does Trump even have that much money to pay for the nice he inflicted on the woman he raped? Or is he just going to grift the money from MAGAs?

Apparently he’s immediately appealing, so no, he’s apparently not gonna pay anything right now at least, right, or do you have to pay even an appeal is pending ?

Does immediately appeal mean literally today? Are appeals public documents to read?

Your predator in chief is going to have to pay for some of his criming. Don't fret, he got away with plenty of other garbage, you can be sure.

The latter is only necessary for sending people to jail.

Was she actually aggressive during the actual trial?

Yes, she was aggressive and she was very ignorant of how to act in court and how to actually follow the rules in court. The judge repeatedly told her that she was not doing things right and how to do them. She behaved like a first year law student who had no idea how to behave in a courtroom. It's amazing how far she pushed the patience of the judge with her ignorance of how to do her actual job.

Here are just a few of the cases where she showed she has no idea how to be a courtroom attorney. Her behavior is like the lawyer's version of the Keystone Cops.

That feels inappropriate from the judge too

The judge has an obligation to make sure court procedures are administered properly.

Does immediately appeal mean literally today? Are appeals public documents to read?

Appeals are public documents. Usually the document for initiating the appeal isn't very interesting. It's a notice of appeal that basically says "we're appealing." It might have some information about the date of the judgment, a copy of the order being appealed, and so forth. But in the beginning, it's not a long document saying what all you think the lower court got wrong.

Additionally, on the issue of timing of payment, the appeal, and the appeal bond; I've seen a lot of things I think are incorrect or misleading. He can file an appeal without posting a bond. However, the bond is necessary if he wants to stop collection proceedings while the appeal is pending. A judgment creditor (like E. Jean Carroll) acquires a number of legal tools once a money judgment is awarded in their favor. They can now get orders from the court allowing things such as freezing bank accounts, garnishing income to the judgment defendant from third parties, attaching assets and ordering them sold. They can also compel discovery about the judgment defendant's assets -- require the defendant to produce documents and testify as to income and assets; basically allowing the plaintiff to figure out what assets might be available to pay the judgment.

If an appeal bond is posted, that obviously makes it much easier for a judgment creditor to collect if they win the appeal. They just take the money posted with the court as an appeal bond and apply it to the judgment. If an appeal bond is not posted, the judgment creditor seizes assets in the meantime, and the appeal goes against them; then the judgment creditor would be required to return the money collected to the judgment debtor.
