Trump's Disrespectful Behavior in Court May Have Cost Him $83.3 Million
  • 3 months ago
A federal jury ordered former President Donald Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in damages for defaming her in a civil trial. Two legal experts said Trump's disrespectful behavior in court likely influenced the jury's decision against him. During the trial, Trump and his attorney, Alina Habba, frequently frustrated and disregarded the presiding judge, Lewis Kaplan. When lawyers disregard a judge's instructions, juries made up of average citizens don't appreciate it, said former federal judge John Jones.
