No one is above the law, not even a previous President of the United States. We are so delighted that the jury concurred, rendering a unanimous decision in favor of E. Jean Carroll in simply 2 and a half hours. For far too long, survivors of sexual attack dealt with a wall of doubt and intimidation. We hope and think today’s decision will be an essential action in tearing that wall down. E. Jean Carroll has actually never ever fluctuated in her strength, guts, and decision to look for justice. Donald Trump, on the other hand, stopped working to even appear in court. This is a triumph not just for E. Jean Carroll, however for democracy itself, and for all survivors all over.
