The judge will deliver instructions on Tuesday morning.
Carroll said that she and Trump spoke casually while walking around Bergdorf Goodman until he led her into a dressing room and raped her. Leeds alleged that during a flight in the late 1970s, Trump groped her unexpectedly. Stoynoff told jurors that Trump, whom she was interviewing for“He makes friendly chit chat with a woman,” Kaplan said. “He suddenly lunges at her.
Trump’s lead attorney, Joe Tacopina, countered that Carroll’s allegation was a money-driven lie. The gist: Carroll wanted to cash in on her book and, what better way than accusing an unpopular ex-president of rape? “What E. Jean Carroll has done here is an affront to justice,” Tacopina said. “She’s minimized real rape victims. She’s exploited their pain and suffering — we cannot let her profit to the tune of millions of dollars for her efforts to deceive you.”
At numerous points during his summation, Tacopina would gesture and point and sometimes whack the lectern with open palms to emphasize a point. In total, both sides’ closings ran around five hours; at some points, at least one juror could be seen nodding off during each attorney’s presentation. “The Plaintiff in our case, E. Jean Carroll is truly one of a kind,” Kaplan told jurors at the beginning of her opening. “Having grown up in Indiana, she pulled herself up by her own bootstraps and achieved amazing success as a journalist and advice columnist in New York City.”
