Jury Awards E. Jean Carroll $83.3 Million in Defamation Case Against Trump
A verdict has been reached by the jury in E. Jean Carroll’s civil defamation case against former President Donald Trump. The jury has ruled that the 45th president will pay $18.3 million in compensatory damages and an additional $65 million in punitive damages to Carroll for “defamatory public statements” he made about her in 2019.
The jury of seven men and two women came to the decision in less than three hours.
In May, a jury found the former president liable for battery in a civil trial brought forth by writer E. Jean Carroll. Carroll claimed that Trump had previously raped and assaulted her back in the 1990’s. She also claimed that Trump defamed her when she went public with the accusation in 2019.
The jury was tasked with determining whether or not the Republican presidential front-runner forcibly assaulted and defamed Carroll. They ultimately found Trump liable for defamation and battery.
However, they also found him innocent of the rape accusation.
Carroll was awarded $5 million in damages due to the alleged battery. Trump must pay this amount in addition to the $83.3 million.

Title: Jury Awards E. Jean Carroll $83.3 Million in Defamation Case Against Trump
Introduction:
A verdict has been reached in the civil defamation case filed by E. Jean Carroll against former President Donald Trump. The jury has ruled that Trump will pay a total of $83.3 million in compensatory and punitive damages for defamatory public statements he made about Carroll in 2019.
Verdict Details:
The jury, consisting of seven men and two women, reached their decision in less than three hours. They determined that Trump should pay $18.3 million in compensatory damages and an additional $65 million in punitive damages to Carroll for the harm caused by his defamatory statements.
Background:
This case stems from a previous trial in which Carroll accused Trump of rape and assault in the 1990s. In May, a separate jury found Trump liable for battery in that civil trial. Carroll also alleged that Trump defamed her when she went public with the accusation in 2019.
Jury’s Findings:
The jury’s main task was to determine whether Trump forcibly assaulted and defamed Carroll. They concluded that Trump was indeed liable for both defamation and battery. However, they did not find him guilty of the rape accusation.
Compensation:
As a result of the battery claim, Carroll was previously awarded $5 million in damages. In addition to this amount, Trump is now required to pay $83.3 million to compensate Carroll for the defamation she experienced.
Conclusion:
The jury’s verdict in the defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll against Trump is significant. The sizable compensation awarded reflects the impact of defamatory statements made by public figures and sets a precedent for holding individuals accountable for their actions. This case has garnered widespread attention and will likely continue to generate public interest for its legal implications.
