Long twitter thread detailing what a shitty lawsuit this was.

TD;DR:

  • E. Jean Carroll spent years claiming that Trump raped her, including inserting his penis in her vagina.
  • Her lawsuit was specifically that Trump raped her.
  • The jury rejected that claim, even on the low standard of "preponderance of the evidence" (a much lower standard than used in criminal trials), explicitly finding that Trump did not rape her.
  • The jury returned "no verdict" on the lesser forcible touching threshold.
  • The judge instructed the jury that the law does not define what sexual abuse is, and they should use their common sense, but "a gentle but unwanted peck on the cheek" could be considered assault.
  • The media is reporting this that her rape claim has been "vindicated".
