Trumps Lawyer REACTS to Jury Verdict Questions FAIRNESS of the Case

Introduction

Donald Trump the former President of the United States has been a controversial figure since he took office in 2016. Trump has battled several legal cases during his presidency and after his term ended. One of the latest legal battles was his sexual assault case where he was found not liable for rape after a jury made a verdict in favor of him. However his lawyer and supporters of the former President are questioning the fairness of the case as they believe it was biased and unfair.

The Jury Verdict and Appeal

The jurys verdict in the sexual assault case was that Trump was not liable for raping a woman in a department stores dressing room in the 1990s. Trump called the verdict a total win and thanked the jury his lawyers and supporters and the court. However he added that this case should have never been brought as he was confident that no sexual misconduct ever took place.

Trumps lawyer Marc Kasowitz spoke on behalf of the former president stating that there were other findings in the case that would be appealed. He also questioned the fairness of the process saying that Trump could not receive a fair trial in New York City due to biasedness.

Access Hollywood Tape and Appellate Issues

Kasowitz mentioned that the trials two major issues the Access Hollywood tape and appellate issues should never have been included in the case. The Access Hollywood tape was a recording of a conversation between Trump and Billy Bush where Trump bragged about groping women.

Kasowitz argued that the tape was irrelevant to the current case as it happened ten years after the alleged incident. The Appellate issues include mistakes made at trial including evidence exclusion and juror selection. Kasowitz believes these issues made the decision-making process biased and unfair.

Reid Hoffman Democratic Financier Funded the Case

Reid Hoffman a Democratic financier funded the lawsuit against Trump. Kasowitz argued that Hoffmans funding was a clear motive to bring Trump down politically. Kasowitz further claimed that the party who filed the case has a history of making false allegations against famous people.

Verdict Inconsistency and Appeal Outcome

Kasowitz argued that the verdict was inconsistent and presented issues for appeal. He further claimed that jurors who awarded his client monetary damages but also found him not liable for sexual assault had cognitive dissonance. This dissonance happened because the verdict needed to be based on the same facts presented.

While Kasowitz believes the appeal outcome favors Trump its unknown what the future holds for the former President. The appellate court will proceed with the case and the final judgment will be reserved.

Parties in the Case Had a Good Experience

Kasowitz confirmed that the former president and those who represented him had a good experience throughout the trial. He also commended the jurys attentiveness throughout the trial.
