Judge Lewis Kaplan purposefully did not disclose why he advised jurors to keep their identities secret in the high profile case
After the verdict was read in the defamation trial between writer E Jean Carroll and former president Donald Trump, the judge overseeing the trial suggested the jurors never reveal their identities.
At the end of the two-week trial, the jurors, who were purposefully made anonymous due to the high-profile nature of the case, are now free to identify themselves by name if they wish.
“My advice to you is that you never disclose that you were on this jury,” Judge Lewis Kaplan advised them in the courtroom.
Judge Kaplan did not explicitly explain why he was offering the advice, however, previous legal actions against the ex-president have led to threats of violence against both jurors and judges from Trump supporters.
Didn’t disclose why?
It’s because MAGA are murderous cowards. That’s why.
And Trump is a dick-tater
That’s defamatory towards potatoes. We can just leave it as dick.
As a professional penis, I take huge offense of your degenerative qualification of us 😤
I’m sorry to have offended you. Maybe we just call him a giant trump (but in like a bad way?)
A giant trump works for me 👍
My eyes drifted to the next reply before properly finishing your sentence and I read “And Trump is a dick-eater.”
Now, homophonic attacks aren’t good or encouraged, but it was such an unexpected bitter non sequitur that I had to chuckle.
He could suck heterosexual dick too, bigot.
Murderous assholes sure, but coward? Not sure what you’re referring to with that one.
They’re afraid of people that think differently than they do. A thing that doesn’t fit their worldview terrifies them.
Remember when Ashli Babbitt the terrorist got shot for trying to reach Congressional representatives? What did all the other little cowards do but immediately gasp and stop their little game once they were hit by reality served by lead.
Ever heard of fight or flight when feeling threatened or vulnerable?
